4. And Beto was also colleagues with Cuellar in the House of Representatives for six years.

I don't think Beto is going to risk alienating Cuellar by choosing an underdog like Cisneros. Beto is concentrating on his campaign and his issues and knows that Cuellar's vote will be there if he becomes president (whether in 2020 or further in the future). Beto has been shrewd for the past several months to avoid aligning himself with Cisneros (or any other candidate) and I don't see where the political calculus has been altered with Warren's endorsement.

Even during Beto's Senate campaign in 2018, he barely mingled with any of the other Democratic candidates for statewide office. That move can either be lauded or criticized, but Beto does have that rebel "lone wolf" personality that is a part of his identity. Beto showed his support for other Texas Democratic candidates by donating to their campaigns. He has nothing to gain by endorsing Cisneros.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
