Trump calls Cassidy 'a disloyal disaster' who will get 'CLOBBERED' in primary
Cassidy voted to acquit Trump in his first impeachment trial in 2019, but he voted to convict the president during his second impeachment trial in 2021.
“Bill Cassidy is a sleazebag, a terrible guy, who is BAD FOR LOUISIANA,” Trump said. “Now he’s going to get CLOBBERED, hopefully, in today’s BIG election, by two great people!!!”
Primary voters are deciding whether Cassidy advances to the general election or gets ousted by Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA), who is endorsed by Trump, or Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming. If no one gets majority support on Saturday, the top two candidates will face each other in a June 27 runoff.
The incumbent’s reelection chances are in danger as he has consistently polled in third place behind the two challengers. Letlow and Fleming have framed themselves as candidates more aligned with Trump, who once again expressed his support for the congresswoman.
“VOTE TODAY FOR JULIA L.,” Trump added. “She Is a winner who will NEVER let you down. I LOVE LOUISIANA, won it all three times, and got the most votes in its history, by far (A record!!!), despite its big time and ‘storied,’ political past. THE ELECTION IS TODAY – please get out and VOTE!!!”
BILL CASSIDY’S POLITICAL FUTURE HANGS IN THE BALANCE
Election results will roll in sometime after the polls close at 9 p.m. on Saturday.
