Democratic debate for Texas’ US Senate seat: How to watch in Dallas-Fort Worth
U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and State Rep. James Talarico will debate for the first time on Saturday afternoon, as they bid to represent Texans in the U.S. Senate.
Crockett and Talarico are the frontrunners in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat that is currently held by Sen. John Cornyn, a longtime Republican lawmaker who is in the midst of a heated primary of his own. The winner of each primary will face off in the Nov. 3 general election.
Crockett and Talarico will go head-to-head in the Jan. 24 debate in Georgetown hosted by Texas AFL-CIO, a labor federation representing union workers across the state. The debate is set for 2 p.m and aligns with a convention hosted by the group’s political arm.
The debate is set to last one hour and will be livestreamed on cw33.com and on the CW33+ app in North Texas. KXAN anchor Daniel Marin and Dallas Morning News political writer Gromer Jeffers are moderating.
Texas’ primary elections are on March 3. Early voting starts Feb. 17 and runs through Feb. 27.
