Jasmine Crockett concedes, James Talarico wins Texas Senate primary

The race was called overnight, following confusion over polling close times that led the Texas Supreme Court to weigh in.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico, whose Christian faith and populist message drew nationwide attention, pulled off an upset against U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the March 3 Senate primary for the Democratic nomination, multiple outlets reported.

The race was called overnight, following confusion over polling close times that led the Texas Supreme Court to weigh in and prompted Crockett to announce she wasn't expecting results until the following day.

With 94% of the votes counted the morning of Wednesday, March 4, Talarico had just under 53% of the vote, a comfortable lead over Crockett's nearly 46%, according to the Associated Press.

By early morning Texas time, Crockett officially conceded, announcing in a statement she called Talarico to congratulate him on his win. She said Texas is "primed to turn blue," and urged the party to remain united, "because this is bigger than any one person."

"This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track," Crockett said. "With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win."
