Deal Score0
Former President Donald Trump’s pardon of indicted Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar has shifted the political landscape in Texas’s 28th District. Analysts now rate the race as “Lean Democrat,” a move from the previous “Toss Up” status. Trump has publicly criticized Cuellar for remaining a Democrat after receiving the pardon, accusing him of lacking corruption. Cuellar, who maintains his innocence, is expected to regain a key appropriations committee position.
