Cuellar drew Trump’s ire on Sunday when he announced he would seek reelection as a Democrat, days after he and his wife received a presidential pardon following bribery and other charges. Trump posted a lengthy Truth Social statement condemning Cuellar’s decision to remain with the “Radical Left Scum” and warned there would be “no more Mr. Nice guy!”
