President Donald Trump is calling on Louisiana voters to turn out on Saturday and teach GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy a lesson.
Taking to Truth Social Saturday morning, Trump praised Cassidy’s primary opponent, Rep. Julia Letlow, and urged the state’s voters to show up for her. He also tore into “disloyal” Cassidy and declared his love for Louisiana, which has historically been a pro-Trump state.
Look:
Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is a disloyal disaster. His entire past campaign for the Senate was about “TRUMP,” how he’s with me all the way, and then, after winning, he turned around and voted to IMPEACH me for something that has now proven to be total “bullshit!” He knew… pic.twitter.com/OZ6bjkWKmY

“Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is a disloyal disaster. His entire past campaign for the Senate was about ‘TRUMP,’ how he’s with me all the way, and then, after winning, he turned around and voted to IMPEACH me for something that has now proven to be total ‘bullshit!’ He knew that at the time, but didn’t care. Bill Cassidy is a sleazebag, a terrible guy, who is BAD FOR LOUISIANA. Now he’s going to get CLOBBERED, hopefully, in today’s BIG election, by two great people!!! VOTE TODAY FOR JULIA L. 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!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote in his post.
Fox News reported on Cassidy’s choice to join Democrats in their efforts to impeach Trump in 2021, following the events of January 6.
“After cruising to re-election six years ago, Cassidy was one of only seven Senate Republicans who voted in early 2021 to convict Trump after he was impeached by the House for his role in the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters who aimed to upend congressional certification of former President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. Trump was acquitted by the Senate,” the outlet noted, adding that he has been “supportive of the president’s agenda and his nominees” since his 2024 election.
