Recent polling has driven trader sentiment toward Democrat Bobby Pulido in the Texas 15th congressional district race, with multiple surveys showing him ahead or tied against Republican incumbent Monica De La Cruz despite the district's Trump +18 margin in 2024. Redistricting in 2025 redrew boundaries to include roughly 80 percent new territory unfamiliar to De La Cruz, shifting forecaster ratings from lean or likely Republican to toss-up status at outlets including the Cook Political Report. Pulido, a Tejano musician with local roots, has emphasized border security and conservative positions to appeal to the majority-Hispanic electorate, while raising competitive funds. Midterm dynamics under a Republican administration and Pulido's polling momentum have positioned him as the consensus leader among prediction market traders.
