"No one should shed tears for Cassidy's loss. He had one moment of doing the right thing, followed by years of repenting for it. Cassidy was one of seven GOP senators who voted to impeach Trump after the January 6 insurrection. Trump hated Cassidy for that move, even though Cassidy did everything to suck up to Trump afterward."
"Notably, Cassidy is the man who unleashed RFK Jr. against the nation's health. As a medical doctor, Cassidy knew that Kennedy was a crank, but Kennedy was Trump 's choice. Cassidy earned a gold in mental gymnastics to justify providing the crucial vote that allowed Kennedy to take over the Department of Health and Human Services and thereby do incalculable damage to public health."
"Cassidy's attempt to make Trump forget about the impeachment vote didn't work. Trump endorsed Rep. Julie Letlow (R-LA) in the GOP primary. Cassidy finished a humiliating third. "His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it's nice to see that his political career is OVER!" Trump gloated after Cassidy's loss."

Sen. Bill Cassidy’s primary loss and the Reclaim 250 rally in Washington, D.C. are presented as connected examples of entrenched problems in the Trump presidency. Cassidy is described as having voted to impeach Trump after the January 6 insurrection, then later trying to align with Trump despite Trump’s resentment. Cassidy is also portrayed as enabling Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take control of the Department of Health and Human Services, with claims that this harmed public health. Trump is said to have endorsed Cassidy’s opponent, Rep. Julie Letlow, and Cassidy is described as finishing third. The text further links Letlow to anti-LGBTQ+ policy efforts, reinforcing the claim of continuity within the party.
