Cassidy’s reelection bid grows steeper as Trump backs rivals
TL;DR
Sen. Bill Cassidy’s bid for another term in Louisiana is getting tougher as Trump allies attack him for opposing Casey Means’ surgeon general nomination and as the MAGA-backed MAHA movement pressures him ahead of the May 16 primary. The White House has framed Cassidy as a roadblock to Means, while poll data show Cassidy trailing in a three-way race against Fleming and Letlow, suggesting a notably uphill path to re-election despite Louisiana’s solid Republican lean.
