Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has faced a significant political setback. Five years after his controversial vote to convict former President Donald Trump in the 2021 impeachment trial, Cassidy has failed to advance to the runoff in the GOP Senate primary. His decision in the trial had led Trump to call for his removal from office.
On May 17, 2026, Cassidy conceded defeat in Baton Rouge. Joined by his wife, Laura Cassidy, he addressed his supporters after the results became clear. Many voters in Louisiana appear to have responded to Trump’s calls to oust Cassidy, resulting in his inability to secure a position in the runoff.
