Johnny Garcia maintains a commanding lead in Texas’s 35th Congressional District following the November 3, 2026 general election, with partial results showing him ahead by roughly 17 points and strong early-vote margins in Bexar County. The newly redrawn district, adjusted in 2025 to favor Republicans, had been viewed as competitive after Donald Trump carried it by 10 points in 2024. Garcia, a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy and moderate Democrat, benefited from turnout patterns that exceeded expectations in Democratic-leaning precincts, while Carlos De La Cruz, the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee, trailed despite primary momentum. Trader consensus now reflects near-certainty in Garcia’s victory based on these vote trends. A dramatic reversal would require unprecedented swings in remaining rural counties, which historical patterns and current margins make highly improbable.
