Centrist Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) declared victory early Wednesday morning in his primary challenge from left-wing “Squad” candidate Jessica Cisneros in a runoff election — despite the race remaining too close to call. As of 7:30 a.m. EST Wednesday, Cuellar held onto a less than one-point lead with 94% of voting precincts reporting in the district — which stretches from eastern limits of San Antonio to Laredo on the Mexican border. “Tonight the 28th Congressional District spoke, and we witnessed our great Democratic system at work,” Cuellar wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “The results are in, all the votes have been tallied- I am honored to have once again been re-elected as the Democratic Nominee for Congress.”
