Will DCCC spend to save Cuellar?

October 4, 2019

Henry Cuellar is going to need to call in the big guns in his party after his primary opponent, Justice Democrats-backed Jessica Cisneros, announced raising over $459,000.

Cuellar was identified by NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer as the most vulnerable Democrat in Texas last week, causing Speaker Pelosi and DCCC Chair Cheri Bustos to rush to his defense. Bustos told the Texas Tribune, “I completely support him.”

So the question is, will that support extend to going on the attack against Cisneros and further angering the left who is already hot under the collar over the DCCC’s blacklist policy?
