Steven Crowder Sues CNN and Jubilee Over Debate Format

Steven Crowder filed a lawsuit against CNN and Jubilee for allegedly infringing on his Change My Mind trademark to benefit Democratic candidate James Talarico.

Conservative commentator Steven Crowder filed a lawsuit against CNN and Jubilee, alleging the media companies infringed on his trademark and the specific format of his Change My Mind political debate series.

Crowder claims the companies utilized his brand to assist Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico in appealing to conservative voters in Texas. Talarico, a Texas State Representative, is currently competing against Republican Ken Paxton in the 2026 midterm elections.

While some polls indicate Talarico is leading Paxton, the accuracy of these figures has been questioned by journalists and analysts. Katy Tur of MS NOW expressed skepticism regarding the polling data based on observations on the ground in Texas.
