Texas GOP lawmaker's attack on opponent's musical career backfires spectacularly

A Republican congresswoman in South Texas disparaged her Democratic opponent's musical career — and he hit back without breaking a stride.

The Texas GOP has repeatedly gerrymandered Texas' 15th congressional district, which stretches from the city of Seguin just south of Austin to McAllen on the southern border, to elect Republicans, and Rep. Monica De La Cruz has represented the district since 2023. She faces an unusually tough challenge this year from Bobby Pulido, a legendary Latin Grammy-winning Tejano singer.
