Trump backs Tijerina in TX-28 race after pardoning indicted Democrat Cuellar.
President Donald Trump endorsed Republican Tano Tijerina in Texas’ 28th Congressional District race, despite pardoning Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar in December 2025 after he was indicted on bribery charges tied to foreign entities.
The Justice Department alleged Cuellar and his wife accepted about $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani energy company and a Mexican bank.
Trump called the case politically motivated retaliation for Cuellar’s opposition to Biden-era border policies, citing letters from Cuellar’s daughters as a reason for the pardon.
He criticized Cuellar for running again as a Democrat, calling it disloyal, and said he would not serve in Congress again.
Tijerina, a former judge and rancher, now faces Cuellar in a competitive race in a redrawn district.
