Talarico’s Senate Campaign Backed by $11.5 Million From Donor With Ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico has been quick to invoke Jeffrey Epstein when attacking Republicans, but he is apparently willing to accept help from a billionaire with close ties to the deceased financier.

Talarico’s Senate campaign is backed by a super PAC whose biggest donor, Reid Hoffman, has close ties to Epstein and even visited his private island. Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn and a Democrat megadonor, is bankrolling the super PAC “Lone Star Rising” that props up Talarico’s campaign to the tune of $11.5 million so far.

The Senate race between Talarico, a Democrat state representative, and Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton is an especially brutal race this cycle as the candidates continue to trade vicious blows about each other’s past. Talarico has made political corruption a frequent theme of his campaign, using Epstein survivors as props and accusing Paxton of giving “Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles.”
