Henry Cuellar's incumbency since 2005, combined with a recent internal DCCC poll showing him ahead 54% to 34% and a Texas Southern University survey from August at 45% to 34%, underpins the 92.5% trader consensus on his reelection in the newly redrawn TX-28. Cuellar holds a clear fundraising edge with over $3 million raised versus Tano Tijerina's $1.9 million, plus a late endorsement from Bill Clinton and announcements securing $1.65 billion in federal transportation funds for the district. Forecasters rate the race Likely Democratic or Leans Democratic. With just days until the November 3 vote, a late scandal, health event, or unusually strong Republican turnout could still shift the outcome, though current evidence points to limited room for such changes.
