Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) is preparing to jump into the Louisiana Senate race against Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) after President Trump publicly endorsed her, Politico reports.
She could announce her decision as soon as today.
Punchbowl News: “Trump has blown up another Senate GOP primary, throwing Republicans into turmoil and giving Senate Majority Leader John Thune a blistering headache…”
“This is all part of Trump’s obsession with revenge. Cassidy voted to convict Trump in the Senate impeachment trial following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Even though Cassidy supported Trump’s controversial nominees — notably Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS secretary — Trump hasn’t let that go.”
