What Went Down At Biden’s State Of The Union And Texas’s Primary Election

Nathaniel, that’s a great question (classic way to gain time during a live interview to figure out your answer). Cuellar won about 58 percent in a district that Biden won 52 percent in back in 2020, so there’s evidence he’s got decently strong local appeal. But the scandal may have eliminated that potential advantage, along with some shifts in the makeup of the district (62 percent of Cuellar’s old seat is in the new 28th District). So I’m tempted to say it won’t matter much in the end.
