Rep. Henry Cuellar, a centrist Democrat from Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, and candidate Jessica Cisneros will head to a runoff in the state’s primary election for the 28th district early Wednesday, as one of the highest profile intraparty races of the 2022 election cycle remains too close to call.
Cuellar led Cisernos, an immigration attorney, 48.5%-46.8% with more than 95% of the vote counted in their bids to represent Texas’ 28th congressional district, both narrowly missing the 50% needed to win outright. She unsuccessfully challenged Cuellar in 2020, but ahead of Tuesday’s primary secured support from top Democrats on the left including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
