In a major political upset, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has lost his Republican primary — becoming the first sitting U.S. Senator to lose renomination in 14 years.Cassidy, who voted to convict President Trump during the 2021 impeachment trial, was targeted by Trump and the MAGA base. Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming advanced to the June 27 runoff, with Cassidy finishing third.This marks a significant victory for the America First movement and serves as a clear warning to other Republican senators who opposed Trump. Many are already saying Sen. John Cornyn could be next.The results show the power of the base when it comes to holding elected officials accountable.
