Although Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar was recently indicted for accepting $600,000 bribes from foreign entities, he insists on continuing to run for re-election based on his innocence.

So far, the Democratic Party, especially the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), has shown no signs of allocating significant resources to support Cuellar in his re-election campaign. Democratic leaders such as DCCC Chairwoman Suzan DelBene have indicated that they consider Cuellar's district to be safe for the party, hoping he will keep the seat. They prefer to let the legal process take its course before taking any more decisive action.

Cuellar also has the support of BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, whose priority is to protect its current members. Other members of the party, such as Congresswoman Linda Sánchez and Congresswoman Nanette Barragán, maintain a posture of focus on reconquering the Chamber in November, expressing confidence in the strategy of resource allocation by the party leadership.

When Republican George Santos was indicted and later abandoned by his party colleagues, there was a difference in the reactions of Democrats so far compared to Cuellar's case. Some Republicans, such as Rep. Mike Lawler, are critical of the Democrats' stance, arguing that Cuellar should resign for the sake of the integrity of the institution.

However, while Cuellar faces serious charges, the response from Democrats has been cautious, with a greater focus on maintaining the majority in the House and confidence that Cuellar's district will remain in party hands.
