Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana did not advance to the runoff in his Senate primary. This result comes five years after Cassidy voted to convict former President Donald Trump during the 2021 impeachment trial.
Trump had urged voters to remove Cassidy, and the recent results suggest his influence remains strong among the GOP electorate in Louisiana.
On May 17, 2026, Senator Cassidy, along with his wife Laura Cassidy, spoke to his supporters in Baton Rouge, offering his concession.
Michael DeMocker captured the moment for Getty Images as Cassidy addressed the outcome and expressed gratitude to his supporters.
