and bigfooted a great Dem in Jessica Cisneros in both primaries (she barely lost both times). Cisneros did not even try in 2024 as many in Dem leadership, plus AIPAC, etc went all in on Cuellar, who, post-indictment, won the general with by far his smallest winning margin ever (and that was against a pretty weak Rethug opponent).
