Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) has held on to his seat after a strong challenge from Republican Cassy Garcia in his southern border district.
The race had focused extensively on the Biden administration’s handling of an immigration crisis at the border.Cuellar, one of the most centrist Democrats in the House, criticized President Joe Biden repeatedly for his neglect of the situation in his district and others that touch Mexico.
Garcia sought to expand the GOP’s appeal with Hispanic voters, which has been growing in recent cycles. She had focused on inflation and immigration in a pitch that portrayed Cuellar, despite his centrism, as a contributor to the Democratic policies that have worsened life for many over the past two years.
