Henry Cuellar Dunks On Jessica Cisneros!

Conservative Democrat declares victory.

Democrats want lawmakers to do something. Leftists want activists. They will scream, yell and try to depress voter turnout.

It appears that the Squad is all talk and no legislation. Did any of the six lawmakers in the Squad ever draft legislation? 

Think what Nina Turner would do if she was a congresswoman?

I said we need more Shontel Brown like candidates. The Texas lawmaker is not a Shontel Brown like candidate. He is a lawmaker who understands what his constituents want.

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) declares victory against Jessica Cisneros in a close primary runoff. The conservative leaning Democrat had the backing of Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Rep. Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). 

The district leans Democrat and has a Cook Political Score of D+5.

She was a former intern for Cuellar. That right there already spelled doom for her. Some look at that as betrayal. She should have waited until he retires or resigns from office. 

This is also her second time running for Congress. She lost the first time.

It appears that Democrats are satisfied with Cuellar despite him being under federal watch. 

The leftists thought they could knock of Cuellar with bombastic rhetoric and ad hominem attacks. The district wades into Southern Texas from Laredo to the eastern portion of San Antonio. The folks in Bexar County turned out in force. Cinseros thought she could win with her aggressive push to label Cuellar as a Republican.

She had the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) as well as the Brand New Congress and the Justice Democrats.

Right now, Cuellar is leading over 177 votes. 

He is one of last active Democrats who still opposes abortion. The Democrats are slowly working over him.

Cuellar, who has served in Congress since 2005, declared victory early Wednesday morning.

"Tonight, the 28th Congressional District spoke, and we witnessed our great Democratic system at work," a confident Cuellar said in a statement. "The results are in, all the votes have been tallied -- I am honored to have once again been re-elected as the Democratic Nominee for Congress."

Cinseros will not concede. She vows to stay in the race until the last votes are in.

"This election is still too close to call, and we are still waiting for every ballot and eligible vote to be counted," Cisneros tweeted. "This fight isn't over."

The race between Cuellar and Cisneros gained attention after a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion called for Roe v. Wade to be overruled, placing abortion rights in the hands of individual states rather than having the practice recognized as a constitutional right.

Cuellar has also received a positive rating from the National Rifle Association, although in recent years he has called for a stronger background check system for gun purchases.

He has responded to the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
