Fox News
"Squad"-backed Texas Democrat Jessica Cisneros on Thursdsay announced that she will again run against Rep. Henry Cuellar in a primary, teeing up yet another battle between the moderate wing of the Democratic Party and its most progressive members.
Cuellar emphasizes his moderate streak in Congress. He's been unafraid to criticize the Biden administration over its immigration policy and recently appeared at a lengthy press conference with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on the issue. Cisneros attacked the incumbent over that reputation in her campaign announcement video Thursday "What's Henry Cuellar done in the last year since he got reelected?" Cisneros said. "He introduced anti-immigration bills with Republicans to further separate families. He was the only Democrat to vote in favor of corporate interests over protecting workers and strengthening unions. And he brought unusable, defective COVID-19 tests into Laredo."More Related News
