Donald Trump Backs Primary Challenge To GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy
HuffPost
It turns out voting to confirm anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. as President Trump's health secretary didn't protect Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) from a primary threat.
WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump encouraged a primary challenge against Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) despite Cassidy’s best efforts to ingratiate himself to the president, including providing the hugely consequential vote last year to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Trump’s health secretary.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump urged Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) to run for the seat held by Cassidy, a medical doctor who voted to convict Trump in his impeachment trial after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in 2021.
“Should she decide to enter this Race, Julia Letlow has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, JULIA, RUN!!!” Trump wrote in the post.
Letlow said she was “honored” to have Trump’s endorsement but did not reveal her plans to run in the February primary. The three-term congresswoman indicated in recent weeks that support from the president would help tip the scales in favor of challenging Cassidy, according to NBC News.
“My mission is clear: to ensure the nation our children inherit is safer and stronger,” Letlow said in a statement. “This United States Senate seat belongs to the people of Louisiana, because we deserve conservative leadership that will not waver.”
