Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico visited San Marcos on Monday, holding a political rally at The Marc. Talarico is competing in the Democratic primary against U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Ahmad Hassan for the seat currently held by Republican John Cornyn, who is running against Ken Paxton and six other candidates. Talarico drew national attention after an interview recorded for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was ultimately not broadcast on CBS, though it was run online the TV show’s You-Tube channel. The move prompted discussion about whether political pressure or governmental censorship played a role in programming decision. Daily Record photos by Shannon West
