      From the article:

      Democrats are seeing fresh signs of life in a South Texas congressional seat that looked, on paper, like one of the harder places for the party to win back in 2026.

      Democrat Bobby Pulido leads Republican Representative Monica De La Cruz in a new poll of Texas’ 15th Congressional District, according to a new House Majority PAC-sponsored poll, conducted by Normington Petts and Associates, and shared with *Newsweek* on August 4.

      President Donald Trump carried the redrawn district by nearly 18 points in 2024, making any Democratic lead there a warning sign for Republicans.

      For anyone curious.

      The reason for this is because the GOP truly believed they had locked down the Latino vote as a permanent voting bloc of somewhere between 10 to 20 plus.

      Now its negative 30 for the GOP.

      Dem here. I can almost guarantee we will win nothing. Or win just enough for it to not matter. You know why. We all know why. Same thing that happened in 2024.

      Im still going to vote. You should too. Just make sure to check your vote after it’s cast.

    6. GUAPERGUAPER on

      That is one of the poorest areas in the nation. Absolutely no reason the raza should be voting for Republican. lololololo

      This is the reason the media wants us divided and why inauthentic content floods social media. People are mad and gonna vote the reps out.

      Mail in ballots work better than standing in line for hours. Anyway, vote!

      Ive said it before and ill say it again. If you’re a person of Latino background and you vote for the GOP. You’re a traitor to your people.

      The GOP doesn’t give a shit about us. They don’t care if you’re Puerto Rican, Colombian, or a “good” Mexican.

      To them you’re just an illegal.

      Hate to say that the traders had to learn the hard way. But if Trump I didn’t make you realize this guy meant what he said.

      Well now with Trump II, you see what happened when we put him back in power.

      Pulido is a famous Tejano singer. He is not a generic Democratic candidate. I’d love to see him win, but this race should not be considered as a gimme for other situations across the country.
      Oh, and VOTE.

      I am hoping this is a bell weather of where the Hispanic vote is nationally. TBH, all the establishment vs progressive vs whoever has less impact than really making a comeback among Hispanics (everywhere except FL) who really can sway elections even in thee Midwest if activated. And Dems really seem to not understand Hispanics beyond Ca and the NY metro which are very different than midwestern and southwestern Hispanics.

      Bobby Pulido is such a goofball but that’s why he will win. He’s genuinely too daft to do corporate politics or come across as a politician lol. Affable I suppose

      Check your preconceptions at the door. I didn’t know about this race and when I glanced at the thumbnails, I thought she was a heroic progressive and he was a good ole boy. Joke’s on me. Good luck Bobby!

      More Perfect Union did a really great video on Pulido and voters in this district. It’s basically a lot of Latino business owners who are SHOCKED that ice has rounded up all of their workers so now they can’t staff their construction companies. They “didn’t sign up for this!”

      Only now, after it affects their wallets have they decided to maybe change their tune.

      All I want is for our country to stable and productive again. That can not happen under trump or anyone associated with trump.

      I’ll believe it when I see it. Too many times has a Texas seat been spotlighted to go blue, only to go red by a wide margin
