Senator Bill Cassidy is trailing in polls and prediction odds in the Louisiana Republican Senate primary against his Trump-backed challenger Representative Julia Letlow and state Treasurer John Fleming.
Cassidy, one of the seven Republican senators who voted to impeach Trump following the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, is facing two conservative rivals in the May 16 primary. The primary tests whether Trump’s once iron grip on GOP primary voters has softened amid his waning nationwide approval rating and if Republicans are willing to support a Trump critic in a solidly conservative state.
Trump backed Letlow, who represents the state’s 5th congressional district, over Cassidy. Polling suggests Fleming is also a potentially viable candidate with notable conservative support. Cassidy, a doctor, has been critical of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccinations but has also sought to downplay differences between himself and Trump on the campaign trail in a bid to hold support among conservatives who still support the president.

Cassidy is a quack....
Senators don’t vote to impeach.
You can’t expect much from an American journalist.
I’m glad that Fleming is staying in this race despite Trump’s endorsement of Letlow.
Fleming is a moderate. Letlow is a RINO.
Crossing my fingers that Cassidy doesn’t make the cut.
Whatever one thinks of Cassidy today, I’ll always be grateful that he rid the Senate of the despicable Mary Landrieu!
Not a great track record of physicians as Republican Senators.
I’d cream my pants if and when Cassidy finishes 3rd.
Yes, but they do vote to convict on what whe House has charged to impeach. So, they are voting on the impeachment. But technically you are correct. It’s the House that indicts, snd the Senate that determines guilt. They are related, yet they are separate processes with the overall process.
Honestly. Journalists are so ignorant and lazy. And it appears all editors have been let go
Hope Cassidy is defeated. Now if someone could defeat Dan Newhouse, who voted to impeach, would get defeated too. He’s a RINO.
“Now if someone could defeat Dan Newhouse, who voted to impeach, would get defeated too. He’s a RINO.”
Newhouse has already announced that he is retiring at the end of this term.
Cassidy doesn’t even qualify as a RINO. He’s a closeted Democrat.
No, they don’t. Senators vote on impeachment CONVICTION. Cassidy voted to CONVICT Trump.
Dan New house already announced his retirement. He’ll be gone in the next Congress.
