With Louisiana’s Republican Senate primary now just days away, a fresh poll has delivered a sobering verdict on the political fate of incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy. Cassidy sits in a distant third place at just 19.6 percent.
The numbers expose a truth that establishment Republicans have long tried to ignore: voters remember betrayal, and they are ready to act on it.
Cassidy’s slide is no accident. This is the same senator who, in February 2021, joined six other Republicans to convict President Donald Trump on charges of incitement of insurrection following the January 6 Capitol events. That vote earned him a formal censure from the Louisiana Republican Party and a lasting label as one of the chamber’s most unreliable voices on core conservative priorities.
