得克萨斯州民主党众议员亨利·库亚尔击败共和党挑战者获胜，显示特朗普总统在推动州重划选区并赦免库亚尔一事上可能算错了。
Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar emerged victorious against a Republican challenger, showing how President Trump may have miscalculated in pushing a state redistricting effort and granting Cuellar a presidential pardon.
在81%的选票计票后，库亚尔获得66.1%的选票，共和党候选人塔诺·蒂赫里纳获得29.2%。
With 81% of the vote counted, Cuellar had 66.1% versus 29.2% for Republican Tano Tijerina.
71岁的库亚尔是一名边境选区的温和派民主党人，长期以来以政治手腕和两党合作著称，似乎使他免受赶走他的企图。特朗普去年通过赦免这位国会议人的联邦受贿指控的审前赦免，加强了这种局面。但特朗普后来对这一举动表示后悔，并抨击库亚尔没有因此转换党派。
Cuellar, 71, a moderate Democrat in a border district, has long been known for a blend of political acumen and bipartisanship that seemed to render him bulletproof against attempts to oust him. Trump bolstered that last year by granting the congressman a pre-trial pardon from federal charges of taking bribes from foreign governments. But Trump later expressed regret for the move and excoriated Cuellar for not switching parties in return.
