(FILES) Democrat candidate for US Senate James Talarico speaks during a rally in San Antonio, Texas, on May 29, 2026. A band of white Democratic pastors have a striking message ahead of November's 2026 US midterm elections: Republicans hijacked Jesus for political gain, and we're not going to stand for it. For decades, it's been a truism that Republicans have cornered the Christian market -- at least when it comes to white voters. Democrat James Talarico, a 37-year-old Presbyterian seminarian, is running for a Senate seat in Texas. In a staunchly conservative, Republican-led state, his Scripture-laden speeches have helped him make deep inroads. "You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off healthcare while cutting the taxes of billionaires," Talarico said in one speech. (Photo by RONALDO SCHEMIDT / AFP)
