So, when the Democratic Party propped up Henry Cuellar, an anti-choice, pro-nra, anti-labor candidate in 2022, they insisted it was because he was the incumbent, and totally not because his opponent, Jessica Cisneros, was a progressive.
EDIT: With the party’s help, Cuellar beat Cisneros in the primary by only 289 votes.
I wonder if the party’s commitment to protecting incumbents is going to remain consistent, or if it their support for Cuellar was just an excuse to shut out progressives.
