Everything you need to know about the race Democrats will be tearing one another to shreds over by Wednesday morning.
South Texas is shifting rightward in general. Hillary Clinton won TX-28 by 20 points, but Joe Biden only won it by 7. Many reasons have been suggested to explain why, including the importance of border security and energy to the region’s economy, its rural culture, Tejano Hispanics identifying as “white” rather than “Latino,” and even Donald Trump’s embodiment of the concept of machismo. Cisneros herself suggests that Democrats have lost voters’ trust by failing to deliver on their promises.
Whatever the reason, the general election will be considered a toss-up no matter who wins the Dem primary, particularly given the unpopularity of the incumbent Democratic president. It would not be shocking if a Republican ended up winning the 28th comfortably. The GOP is backing former Ted Cruz staffer
in its own runoff; Garcia’s website and social media feeds depict a polished, careful candidate—a very conservative one, but not of the reckless MAGA variety.Each Democrat in the race has general-election liabilities. Cisneros might be perceived as too liberal by voters who have started gravitating toward Republicans, while Cuellar, uh, recently had his home raided by FBI agents investigating potentially illegal influence operations carried out by the oil-rich nation of Azerbaijan.
Nonetheless! If Cisneros wins, Democrats must embrace full communism, to the extent of wearing Soviet-era fur hats on the floor of Congress, even when it’s warm out; if Cuellar wins, Nancy Pelosi finally gets to put AOC in jail. Let’s get it on!
