Trump-backed Air Force veteran wins GOP runoff in newly-redistricted House district

Trump-backed Air Force veteran Carlos de la Cruz is projected to win the GOP runoff for Texas’ 35th Congressional District against state lawmaker John Lujan. The newly redrawn district, now more Trump-friendly, will face a November general election with Democratic candidate Maureen Galindo, who faces backlash for antisemitic remarks. The de la Cruz family could join a historical trend of sibling siblings in Congress.
