德克萨斯州法尔——
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）预测，拉丁乐（Tejano）歌手博比·普利多（Bobby Pulido）将赢得得克萨斯州第15国会选区的民主党初选，击败急诊室医生艾达·奎利亚尔（Ada Cuellar）。
普利多将在11月面临两届任期的共和党众议员莫妮卡·德拉克鲁兹（Monica De La Cruz），试图翻转这个根深蒂固的共和党选区的控制权。
全国民主党人将普利多视为他们在该席位竞争中的最佳机会，原因是他的名气以及他社会保守派的形象。普利多的父亲曾是一名移民农场工人，如今他已成为拉丁格莱美奖得主。
“我们很长一段时间都在吃败仗。我们必须找出原因，”普利多在接受CNN采访时表示，“我们有很多人需要重新争取。”
奎利亚尔曾与民主党参议院候选人贾丝明·克罗克特（Jasmine Crockett）共同竞选，她将普利多描绘为建制派的选择，并因他个人反对堕胎而对其进行抨击。普利多表示，他不支持该州近乎全面的堕胎禁令。
这个长约250英里的选区从圣安东尼奥外围一直延伸到美国与墨西哥的边境，去年被得克萨斯州共和党人重新划界，旨在为该党争取最多五个额外的美国众议院席位。
这份新地图在很大程度上依赖于保留共和党人在拉丁裔选民中取得的优势。在2024年大选中，唐纳德·特朗普总统本可凭借当前选区的界限以18个百分点的优势获胜。
“作为拉丁裔，我们的共同点是，我们中的许多人都出身卑微，”普利多告诉CNN，“西班牙裔人想要的是：他们希望通过辛勤工作获得回报。当你剥夺了这种曾经向这个国家所有人承诺过的机会时，他们就会愤怒。而这就是你将看到的情况。”
Latin Grammy winner Bobby Pulido will win Democratic primary for Texas’ 15th District, CNN projects

Pharr, Texas—
Tejano singer Bobby Pulido will win the Democratic primary for Texas’ 15th Congressional District, CNN projects, defeating emergency room physician Ada Cuellar.
Pulido will face two-term GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz in November in his bid to flip control of a deeply Republican district.
National Democrats view Pulido, the son of a migrant farm worker turned Latin Grammy Award-winning artist, as giving them their best shot at competing in the seat due to his fame and his socially conservative profile.
“We’ve been getting our butts kicked for a long time. And we have to find out why that is,” Pulido told CNN. “And there’s a lot of people that we’ve got to go bring back.”
Cuellar, who campaigned with Democratic Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett, painted Pulido as the establishment’s pick and blasted him over his personal opposition to abortion. Pulido has said that he doesn’t support the state’s near-total abortion ban.
The district, a roughly 250-mile-long strip that stretches from outside San Antonio down to the US border with Mexico, was redrawn last year by Texas Republicans as part of a push to net the party as many as five additional US House seats.
That new map relies heavily on retaining gains the GOP has made with Latino voters. President Donald Trump would have won the district on its current lines by 18 percentage points in 2024.
“As Latinos, what unites us all is that many of us come from humble beginnings,” Pulido told CNN. “Hispanics, they want this: They want to be able to work hard and be rewarded by that hard work. And when you take away from that opportunity, that used to be promised to everybody in this country, they get mad. And that’s what you’re going to be seeing.”
