Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar will narrowly get to claim the Democratic nomination for Texas’s 28th Congressional District after a contentious reelection battle against attorney Jessica Cisneros.
A recount of the results of a May 24 runoff found that Cuellar defeated Cisneros by 289 votes. The Associated Press called the race for Cuellar on Tuesday.
In a statement Tuesday, Cuellar said the recount proved what he’d already announced: that it was he who would move on to the November general election. Cuellar, the lone antiabortion Democrat in the U.S. House, had the support of top-ranking House Democrats such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi , while Cisneros was endorsed by a new generation of more liberal Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez . The 28th District will be competitive in the fall. Cuellar will now face Republican candidate Cassy Garcia, a former deputy state director for Sen. Ted Cruz .
