Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico made an appearance at a town hall hosted by CNN in collaboration with Jubilee on Wednesday evening.

The format CNN used was reminiscent of Jubilee’s “Surrounded” series, where one individual must face a barrage from naysayers who disagree with their views.

For Talarico, opposition came from a Roman Catholic woman who made it known she was a single-issue voter, with everything coming down to abortion.

After expressing her hesitance to vote Democrat because of the party’s poor track record on the issue, Talarico tried to respond as a moderate, attempting to find common ground with someone he considered a fellow Christian.
