MAGA Louisiana Congresswoman Julia Letlow, who won an early 2021 special after her husband Congressman-elect Luke Letlow died of COVID in late 2020 before he could take office, is “seriously considering” a primary challenge to incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy, one of the very few remaining Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, NBC News reports.
Better yet, sources say that Letlow has “received encouragement from the White House to jump into the race” against Cassidy, a physician who opposed Bobby Brainworms’s nomination to Health and Human Services Secretary until Cassidy caved to pressure from the Reich and voted yes. All the caveats about this being anonymously-sourced, that maybe it’s coming from some faction in the White House that has less clout than another that has thus far prevented the Orange God Emperor from publicly annihilating Cassidy’s future in the Senate for nearly five years now, does anyone really disbelieve that would be the outcome? That Cassidy voted with his conscience in 2021, then was forced to eat shit in 2025 on the vague hope that it would spare him from the fat fuck’s wrath, only to be destroyed thereafter anyway? Trump ain’t endorsing Susan Collins but he sure as hell also isn’t endorsing a hardcore MAGA primary challenger to run against her… Probably.
Still, Louisiana ain’t Maine and Bill Cassidy is not Susan Collins. In fact it’s easy to imagine the only reason Trump has held back on backing a challenge is that nobody had stepped up yet. Until now.
