James Talarico, the Democrat who won the Texas Senate race last week, said Trump can achieve glory on par with Lyndon B. Johnson, and Democrats should work with him to do it.
Talarico spoke Thursday at the What’s Next conference in Denver, where Democrats are discussing what to do with their new congressional majorities.
He said Johnson’s achievements are celebrated all over the U.S. Capitol, where he was a longtime Democratic senator before being elected vice president and president.

“If President Trump wants the same plaques and portraits and busts as LBJ, we can help make that a reality,” Talarico said. “We should make the final two years of his presidency the most productive of any presidency in American history.”
