Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana just lost his Senate primary, coming in third after 12 years in office, with Donald Trump endorsing a rival candidate backed by the MAHA movement. The irony is thick: Cassidy was one of the few Republicans who voted to convict Trump after the January 6th impeachment, a vote that likely sealed his political fate. Since then, he spent years trying to win back Trump's favor, including casting the deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. None of it mattered.
What Cassidy has now, though, is something rare in Washington: nothing to lose. He remains a sitting U.S. Senator until January 2027, six and a half months during which Trump will desperately need Senate votes. Confirmations, budget fights, potential Supreme Court seats opening up if Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito retire, all of it runs through the Senate, and Cassidy is still in the room.
As a licensed medical doctor, Cassidy is arguably the most credible voice in government to challenge RFK Jr.'s dangerous anti-vaccine agenda and what it has meant for American public health over the past year and a half. He could place holds on nominees, vote against Trump priorities, speak freely, and campaign for candidates in the November midterms.
Hawk lays out exactly what a senator with nothing left to lose could do with six and a half months, and why payback might be the only language that actually gets through.
