NEW ORLEANS — Former President Donald Trump endorsed U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) for his upcoming re-election bid, while also taking aim at the state’s other Republican senator.
Trump’s endorsement comes one day after Kennedy announced that he was launching his re-election campaign as U.S. Senator from Louisiana. In his announcement, Kennedy echoed the former president’s campaign slogan.
“Five years ago, I made a promise, a promise that I took seriously. I told you that I would work to put our country back on track and make America great again,” Kennedy wrote.
Trump’s endorsement said Kennedy was “the real deal” who “will never let you down” while also taking a swipe at U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.).
“Unlike Louisiana’s other Senator, Bill Cassidy, who used my name in ads and all over the place in order to get re-elected, and then went ‘stupid,’ John Kennedy is the real deal - a brilliant and highly educated man who will never let you down,” Trump’s endorsement said.

The 2020 RINO traitors must be sent packing.
He’s endorsing some of the Assistant Democrats, Rubio for instance.
If he endorses George P. Bush, I will ignore his endorsements altogether.
I really like Kennedy.
I could have sworn that I heard on FOX news last week that he had endorsed GP Bush. I may be wrong, but I know I heard them talking about how this was one Bush that Trump supported blah, blah blah.
“I really like Kennedy.”
He should be the next party leader, not Thune.
that ah Cassidy was one of the useful idiots that was gullible enough to go along with the Dems bogus impeachment
Like Romney, Murk, Collins, etc. he needs to be removed
Anybody that can be played that easily is of no use to the Republican side
Cassidy was just safely reelected, so fears no reprisals. It’s how power works.
So do I. He appears on Fox often and I always enjoy seeing him and hearing what he has to say.
He hasn’t yet, really hope he doesn’t.
I’m sure the talking heads on Fix would be pimping another Bush.
