Rob LaushesHOST
First up, on November third, South Texas voters will decide who will represent the newly redrawn Congressional District twenty-eight in the one hundred twentieth Congress.
Rob LaushesHOST
The incumbent, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar, will face Webb County Judge Tano Tijerina, the Republican challenger.
Rob LaushesHOST
Previously a safe Democratic seat, the district has become more competitive as Hispanic voters, who comprise over seventy-five percent of its population, have recently trended towards Republicans.
Rob LaushesHOST
In twenty-twenty-four, Cuellar was indicted for bribery, money laundering, and being an unregistered foreign agent of Azerbaijan.
Justin MillerGUEST
He's a former Democrat.
Justin MillerGUEST
He switched parties in the wake of 2024, Tano Tijerina.
Justin MillerGUEST
He's the county judge.
Justin MillerGUEST
He's very prominent, but seems like they're already kind of giving up on that race, so.
Marian NavarroHOST
Cuellar's Laredo-based district was redrawn last year to favor Republicans, but the party has struggled to gain ground against the longtime incumbent.
Marian NavarroHOST
Cuellar faces Republican Webb County Judge Tano Tijerina in November.
Marian NavarroHOST
The funding shift comes a day after House Speaker Mike Johnson campaigned with Tijerina in Corpus Christi.
Marian NavarroHOST
A cold front arrives in San Antonio this weekend.
Ali VelshiHOST
Either way, the pardon allowed Cuellar to run for re-election unburdened by a criminal trial.
Ali VelshiHOST
He is being challenged by a Republican county judge named Tano Tijerina.
Ali VelshiHOST
Tijerina is a county judge, a former Democrat as recently as 2024, so it's a seat that Republicans are heavily targeting, with Speaker Mike Johnson going down to Texas to campaign alongside Tijerina.
Ali VelshiHOST
In fact, Trump posted about this race today, saying that Tijerina is running out of love and passion, uh, i- i- is running out of love and passion against Henry Cuellar.
Burning BrightHOST
He said to the people of Texas, "I'm heading your way.
Burning BrightHOST
One of the people I'm going to pay respect to is Tano Tijerina." I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right.
Jon HeroldHOST
Oh, yeah.
Jon HeroldHOST
You definitely know.
JRHOST
Let's resume that.
JRHOST
21 hours ago, "To the people of Texas, I'm headed your way, and one of the people that I'm gonna pay respect to today is Tano Tijerina.
JRHOST
Out of love and passion, he's running against the demoncrat Harry Quilar, who along with his wife, I pardoned at the request of his daughters because they said, quote, 'Please don't let them take our parents away.' They would have gone to jail on federal fraud and conspiracy charges for over 20 years.
JRHOST
In fact, Henry Quilar's brother, a sheriff, a short time later was indicted on the same charges." Well, then why did you pardon them? "In any event, I did the pardons and made no deal where a crooked politician would have, but I thought there would be a good chance that Quilar, who was persecuted by demoncrats because they didn't like him, would have routinely gone over to the Republican Party, the people that saved him from years in prison.
JRHOST
His wife, as I heard, wanted him to turn to the man and the party that helped him, but he wouldn't do it because he's vicious.
JRHOST
The demoncrats will have a chance to go after him again.
JRHOST
In any event, the man running against him, Tano Tijerina, is a star and hopefully will win.
JRHOST
We call that payback for a disloyal and ungrateful person, a persons whose life's been saved only to go back into the clutches of the people that tried so hard to destroy him.
Madison AndrusGUEST
It's just truly abysmal numbers for House Republicans to try to overcome.
Madison AndrusGUEST
And, you know, Tano Tijerina, the Republican challenging Henry Cuellar, was out at that party in Dallas on stage talking about how great things are going.
Madison AndrusGUEST
You know, things are not going great for folks in South Texas when they are struggling to pay their bills and make it to the end of the week
Greg SargentHOST
weekSo I understand the economy is on everybody's minds, and it's a really, really intense thing for a lot of people, and it's very preoccupying.

Bo DavidsonHOST
They're very, very tight.
Bo DavidsonHOST
You know, you got Mueller 45%, Gutierrez 39, Monica de la Cruz 45, Bobby Polito 50%, Brandon Herrera 42% to Katie Padilla's 40%, Tano Tijerina 46% to Cuellar's 38%.
Bo DavidsonHOST
Eric Flores, 42%, Vicente Gonzalez, 45%, Carlos de la Cruz, 45%, Johnny Garcia, 44%.
Bo DavidsonHOST
These are very, very tight margins, David, and I have to think that even though the president's speech today at Peterbilt is not a rally per se, that this focus on Texas, a traditionally red state, has to be apropos as we think about the midterm convention that happened just weeks ago that I was at.
32 MINS LATER
Bo DavidsonHOST
Terrence, that's a pretty small swing.
Bo DavidsonHOST
Again, a redrawn district that's supposed to be favoring Republicans, mind you.
Bo DavidsonHOST
Texas 28, Tano Tijerina at 46% over Henry Cuellar.
Bo DavidsonHOST
I hope I'm pronouncing that right, 38%.
