President Trump Critiques Rep. Cuellar’s Loyalty
President Trump criticized Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar for lacking loyalty after Cuellar announced his candidacy for re-election as a Democrat, despite Trump recently granting him clemency from federal bribery charges. Cuellar believes the indictment was politically motivated retaliation by the Biden administration due to his criticism of immigration policies. Trump expressed disappointment over Cuellar’s decision to remain with the Democratic Party, indicating he expected a party switch that would benefit Republicans in the upcoming midterms. Cuellar’s district was not significantly altered in the recent congressional redistricting, which was influenced by Trump.
