TL;DR Summary
Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to convict Donald Trump in his impeachment, lost his Louisiana GOP primary to Trump-backed rivals Julia Letlow and John Fleming, who advance to a runoff. The result underscores Trump’s enduring influence over the party, and Cassidy suggested he may spend the remaining term more openly challenging Trump or the party rather than simply supporting the president.
