Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana did not succeed in advancing to the runoff in the GOP Senate primary. This comes five years after his vote to convict former President Donald Trump. Trump’s call for Senator Cassidy’s removal seems to have influenced voters in the state.
The incident occurred on May 17, 2026, with Cassidy acknowledging defeat in Baton Rouge. Alongside his wife Laura Cassidy, he addressed his supporters. The decision marks a significant moment in Cassidy’s career, reflecting the political repercussions of voting against Trump in the 2021 impeachment trial.
