South Texas Races Show Democratic Shift | Dallas News

South Texas is heating up politically as new polling from Texas Southern University reveals surprising Democratic momentum in key congressional races. In the 15th District, Democrat Bobby Pulido leads Republican Monica De La Cruz by five points — a swing in a district Trump won decisively in 2024. The 28th District sees incumbent Democrat Henry Cuellar holding a comfortable edge over Republican Tano Tijerina, with even some Trump voters backing him — a major shift. Meanwhile, the 34th District is a tight three-point race between Democrat Vicente Gonzalez and Republican Eric Flores, with eight percent still undecided. The polls also show Democrats leading in Senate and Governor races across these districts, hinting at a broader trend of GOP-leaning voters opening up to Democratic candidates. With margins of error around three to four percent, this snapshot paints a complex but compelling picture of South Texas’s evolving political landscape ahead of the next election.
