This Republican voted to convict Trump. Now he's up for reelection. Can he survive? - NPR
Overview
Sen. Bill Cassidy’s reelection bid tested Trump’s hold on the GOP after Cassidy voted to convict following the January 6 attack. Cassidy tried to repair relations with Trump, but a Trump-backed campaign reshaped the race and contributed to his defeat, highlighting the risks for Republicans who break with Trump. The subsequent Louisiana runoff is now being viewed as an immediate follow-up test of whether Republican voters will continue to follow Trump’s endorsements after Cassidy’s ouster.
