What Democrats are HIDING About Their New "Golden Boy" | The Riley Gaines Show

Riley Gaines takes a close look at James Talarico and the Democratic Party’s effort to present him as a fresh, faith-friendly, moderate voice in Texas politics.

This episode covers Talarico’s statements on faith, gender ideology, abortion, women’s language, race, and Texas values. Riley also discusses Ken Paxton, Trump-backed candidates, the power of endorsements in 2026 GOP primaries, and why voters should pay attention to politicians who use religious language while advancing progressive politics. Riley explains why this race is not just about Texas. It is also about the future of the Republican Party, the role of faith in politics, and the growing divide between normal voters and candidates Riley describes as radical, polished, and media-manufactured.
