Authored by independent.co.uk

Texas Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate James Talarico saw a boost in campaign cash and had his profile skyrocket amid a war of words between Stephen Colbert, CBS and the Trump administration over his spiked The Late Show interview.

Colbert said that the network’s lawyers told him that Talarico, a state legislator from Austin, could not appear on the show.

This comes as early voting for the Senate primaries in Texas began on Tuesday.

As of Wednesday morning, the taped-but-never-aired interview that Colbert’s show posted on YouTube had garnered 5.2 million views.

Talarico’s campaign, which also posted it, announced that he had raised $2.5 million in the past 24 hours off the controversy.
