1 revisions for "The Last Impeachment Senator Falls: How Trump's Revenge Machine Crushed Bill Cassidy in Louisiana"

Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana was eliminated in the May 16, 2026 Republican primary, finishing third with 25% of the vote behind Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow (45%) and State Treasurer John Fleming (28%). Cassidy's defeat — five years after his vote to convict Trump in the 2021 impeachment trial — makes him the only one of the seven Republican senators who voted for conviction to actually lose a primary, as four others retired and two survived under alternative voting systems.
