Republican super PAC pulls out of top battleground in Texas

Congressional Leadership Fund, the main super PAC linked to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), slashed spending in one of the top pickup opportunities for Republicans, a sign one of their premier races at the start of the cycle could be getting away from them.

According to AdImpact, CLF pulled $3 million out of Texas’s 28th Congressional District, anchored in Laredo, this week, drawing back their effort to oust 11-term incumbent Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) despite the seat being redrawn to slightly favor Republicans. Nonpartisan election forecasters have this seat favoring Democrats after it shifted from a “toss-up.”
