Former President Clinton’s appearance the day before Election Day was aimed at holding on to the Latino dominant ground that Democrats have held for a century in South Texas, which could be becoming more Republican.
EDINBURG, Texas — Former President Bill Clinton made an election eve sweep through South Texas in support of Democratic congressional candidates, warning voters that Republicans “are coming for you.”
The districts have been solidly Democratic for more than a century. Legislative redistricting has shifted their boundaries over the years, and the 15th Congressional District was drawn to favor Republicans. Clinton praised gains and growth in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas. He told voters that Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s plan, should he become House speaker, is to cut Medicare, gut the Affordable Care Act, prevent the U.S. from bargaining for lower prescription drug prices and cap insulin drug prices at $35 a month.
In a statement, the Republican Party recalled that Clinton did not win Texas when he ran for president.
