Sen. Cassidy is a never-Trumper who voted to convict President Trump during the second impeachment trial.

Scott Presler dug up the video of that:

WOW!

I FOUND IT!

After scouring the Internet, I found a video of Senator Bill Cassidy saying,

“I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty.”

Send this to everyone you know in Louisiana, so they can vote BEFORE 8 p.m.! pic.twitter.com/donzYuGMJy

Good riddance!

This is a historic moment.

It marks the first time in a decade-and-a-half that a sitting U.S. senator has lost a primary.

In other words, MAGA sent a strong message to the Senate tonight!

As Robby Starbuck explained:

RINO Bill Cassidy just lost his Senate seat. He came in third. It wasn’t even close. A message was just sent to every Senator to start listening to and acting on behalf of the base or they can replace you. Bill never answered this question by the way. A cowardly big pharma shill. https://t.co/rjQ9AnJEYT

Sen. Cassidy lost to not only one, but two candidates who will be advancing to a runoff.

Both Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow, who was endorsed by President Trump, and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming got more votes than the sitting senator.

That really tells you something!

President Trump responded to Sen. Cassidy’s historic loss in a post on Truth Social:

Bill Cassidy, after falsely using his “relationship” with me during his political career, and winning Elections because of it, voted to impeach me on preposterous charges that were fake then, and now, are criminally insane! His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it’s nice to see that his political career is OVER! I’d like to thank the Great People of the State of Louisiana, and this Big Victory will only make me work even harder for your success, and all that comes with it. I LOVE YOU ALL. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

He also congratulated Julia Letlow:

Congratulations to Congresswoman Julia Letlow on a fantastic race, beating an Incumbent Senator by Record Setting Numbers. This is the first time in History that a sitting Senator has lost by such large numbers in a Primary, unable to even go forward. Julia Letlow is a fantastic person and, after taking care of some additional business, will make a brilliant Senator for the Great People of Louisiana, a State that I love, helped make prosperous with my Energy Policies and everything else, and won six times in a row, including Primaries. Julia Letlow is a spectacular person, and will never let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Letlow and Fleming will now go head-to-head in a runoff next month.

The Hill reported:

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) was projected to fail to advance to the runoff in Louisiana’s GOP Senate primary Saturday, according to Decision Desk HQ, ending the incumbent senator’s reelection bid after years of political fallout from his vote to convict President Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming (R) were projected to advance instead, a major victory for Trump as the president worked to oust one of the few remaining senators who broke with him after the Capitol attack.

No candidate secured at least half of the vote to avoid a June 27 runoff.

Trump has targeted Cassidy for years over the vote, repeatedly attacking the Louisiana senator on the campaign trail and encouraging Letlow to challenge him earlier this year. Cassidy was one of seven GOP senators to vote to convict the president in his second impeachment trial, and one of only three who remain in office.

More recently, Trump has blamed Cassidy — chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and a medical physician — for blocking the nomination of Casey Means for surgeon general, drawing backlash from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and allies of his Make America Health Again (MAHA) movement.

Saturday’s race marked Cassidy’s toughest reelection battle since he first won the Senate seat in 2014. Polling in the final weeks of the race showed a close contest between Cassidy, Letlow and Fleming, with some surveys suggesting Cassidy was at risk of missing the runoff altogether.
