The endorsement has not yet been publicly announced.
Talarico’s Democratic primary win has shifted the general-election landscape, turning the Texas Senate race into a contest both parties now expect to draw major funding and national scrutiny.
If Trump confirms the endorsement, it would place him squarely in the middle of a Republican primary fight at the same moment Democrats are unifying behind a single candidate.
