After Trump Pardons Cuellar, TX-28 Moves to Leans Democratic By J. Miles Coleman

KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE

— In what was a surprising bipartisan move last week, President Donald Trump pardoned Rep. Henry Cuellar (D, TX-28), who was indicted on corruption and money laundering charges.

— Though the state’s new GOP-drawn House map faced some legal hurdles, the Supreme Court recently greenlit the mid-decade gerrymander for 2026.

— Republicans will very likely net seats under the new Texas map, though Cuellar may have actually gotten a more favorable district.

— Considering his pardon and the new lines, we are moving Cuellar from Toss-up to Leans Democratic.

— To the delight of national Republicans, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D, TX-30) made a late entry into the Senate race. We are holding the race at Likely Republican.
