21. If you are talking about the Allred thing, that has been grossly misleading

Sun Feb 22, 2026, 02:29 AM

Sunday

He campaigned for and supported Allred in his race against Ted Cruz. However, his campaign was mediocre. There was a running gag "Where is Allred" . I don't think he spent much time on the border.

Also any comment James made was not a public one but was a conversation between the two of them. I just can't see him dissing Allred at all. it isn't his style.

I like Jasmine but I would have preferred her to stay in the House until Cruz comes up again.

Thankfully this primary is almost over, and there will not be a runoff because the 3rd person is an unknown
