Saturday, May 17, Louisiana Republican voters delivered the cleanest verdict possible on the Senator who voted to convict President Trump after January 6. Bill Cassidy outspent his opponents three-to-one. Combined with his Super PAC, the total reached $22 million against roughly $3.9 million on the other side. He still finished third with just 25 percent.
Scott McKay, publisher of The Hayride and Louisiana's premier conservative political commentator, takes Jenny Beth Martin through the full picture: Trump-endorsed Julia Letlow's commanding 45 percent win, former Congressman John Fleming's 28 percent, and how Cassidy's bizarre campaign — running as a Trump supporter five years after voting to convict him — collapsed under voters' visceral rejection.
The conversation covers Cassidy's slavish devotion to Big Pharma, the MAHA movement's role in Louisiana, the Clay Higgins-led exposure of federal involvement on January 6, and why Cassidy never reversed course on the impeachment vote that destroyed him. Scott's verdict: "You're a dinosaur and the meteor just hit."
If you are watching this and your Senator is currently blocking President Trump's agenda, this is the message Louisiana just sent. Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell them what voters are saying.
