Henry Cueller gets serious primary challenge

August 4, 2021

Jessica Cisneros is challenging Henry Cuellar again.

Last cycle, Cuellar barely survived a primary from Socialist Cisneros and it’s doubtful he can beat her again.

With Democrats’ internal polling showing their majority is in trouble, a serious primary challenge to one of their most vulnerable incumbents is the last thing they could have hoped for.  

NRCC Comment: “Henry Cuellar is in deep, deep trouble in 2022. Perhaps he should consider retirement to save himself the embarrassment of losing.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
