will be forced into a runoff election with progressive challenger Jessica Cisneros for U.S. House District 28.
Earlier in the night, Cisneros expressed optimism about her performance against the powerful incumbent. In January, the FBI raided Cuellar’s home and campaign office, but released almost no details about why the bureau targeted the representative. Should it become clear he is not the subject of a criminal investigation, Cuellar could pick up momentum. But on the other hand, more FBI action around Cuellar could make his case to voters all the more difficult.the raid was part of a federal grand jury probe and that subpoenas reportedly sought records from organizations with ties to Azerbaijan.
Cisneros challenged Cuellar on several fronts, including on his abortion and health care stances. She charged that the nine-term incumbent was too conservative for the district, and she benefited from the support of a national donor network. She also benefited from the endorsements of U.S. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and from the influential group that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, EMILY’s List.
