Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) announced that he will vote to confirm Kash Patel, President Trump’s choice to lead the FBI.

Cassidy, the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said on Tuesday that he talked to “multiple people I respect about Kash Patel this weekend—both for and against.”

“The ones who worked closely with Kash vouched for him. I will vote for his confirmation,” he wrote Tuesday on X.

Patel’s newfound support from the GOP senator comes as the chamber gets ready to vote on his formal confirmation later this week.

It doesn’t have to be.

We need to stop allowing Deep State to pick our candidates for us.

Trumps continued increase in support with the voters is having a serious impacts on rinos and leftist judges.

The headwinds are just to strong :)

Looks like Cassidy is the new prima donna in the senate. For the long term health of the senate, this narcissist should be primaried in 2026.

Eloquent and to the point. I couldn't have said it better.

“Why the hell would this even be a question for Cassidy?”

Casssidy, a former democrat, forgot to change his stripes when he went Republican.

He is being primaried next year and is getting nervous.

What you are seeing is Cassidy pretending to be cautious, a cautiousness impelled by his inner purity of thought and mind. He is campaigning, that is all.

He may even find religion before next year.

This is another state that does top two and holds another election. I understand bel Edward’s may run. He has won statewide recently. I wish states would stop emulating California.

He will vote with Trump until the 2026 election; then after being reelected by a slew of the uninformed, he will turn again with a vengeance.

No, the Senate race will be a regular primary and runoff in 2024, then the general election with a “D” v. “R.”

He can still win because so many do not know of his record.

Oh good. Everytime we have some wacky different election, we don’t do well.
