28. MS NOW has reported that Crockett is underperforming in areas she should have done well in

speculation is that Hispanic voters really like Talarico's religious talk and he's performing very well with them.

I would rather see Crockett as the Senate needs a fighter like her and I don't trust Talarico not to become Fetterman 2.0 (nothing to base that on, just my thoughts.)
