Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, questioned the gender of James Talarico, a Democratic candidate for the Texas Senate, during an appearance on Fox News' 'Hannity.' Miller stated, 'I can’t call him a man,' referring to Talarico's previous comments about gender. Talarico, who represents Austin in the Texas House, won the Democratic primary in March and has been vocal about transgender rights. His remarks regarding gender have been used in Republican attack ads against him. Miller criticized Talarico's support for transgender rights, claiming that voters would not elect someone who supports 'trans children.' Talarico is a practicing Christian and advocates for the separation of church and state. A recent poll indicated that Talarico holds a three-point lead over his opponent, Ken Paxton, who has faced legal challenges but was acquitted by the Senate after being impeached by the Texas House.
