Barack Obama appears with James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa at Austin restaurant [View all]
It was an ordinary taco Tuesday in downtown Austin — until the former president showed up.
Patrons at Taco Joint near the University of Texas at Austin were greeted Tuesday by the surprise entrance of Barack Obama along with James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic nominees for U.S. Senate and governor, respectively.
The trio went from booth to booth for around 30 minutes of retail politicking, discussing issues ranging from data centers to voting and taking group photos with a mostly younger crowd that yelped with excitement when the former president appeared. Obama asked one group if they knew Hinojosa and Talarico, referring to them as the state’s “next governor and senator” as the two Austin Democrats stood nearby.
The former president did not make any public remarks or formally endorse either Democrat.
