Former President Barack Obama is entering the U.S. Senate fight in Texas in hopes of flipping the seat for Democrats.
Former President Obama is backing Texas Democratic candidate James Talarico in his bid for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn, The New York Times reported Tuesday, May 11.
This comes after reporters spotted the former president at a Taco Joint in Austin, Texas, posing for a photo with Talarico and Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinajosa.
As the Times reports, when Obama introduced himself to a table, he asked them, "Do you know our outstanding next governor and senator?"
No formal endorsement of the Talarico or Hinajosa was announced at the event or afterward.
