U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy’s supporters are getting energized about the 2026 reelection cycle following a Monday night fundraiser that yielded more than $350,000 for the Baton Rouge physician’s campaign.

Hosted by GOP megadonor and shipbuilding magnate Boysie Bollinger at his Four Seasons apartment in New Orleans, the event was also co-hosted by a long list of others that included Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser and state Senate President Cameron Henry.

To put the fundraising haul into perspective, Cassidy was already sitting on $5.2 million in his campaign finance account at the end of the last quarter. By comparison, at this point during the last Senate cycle, Cassidy’s cash on hand was $2.7 million. Major donors who are rallying around Cassidy’s 2026 bid are eager to see how much momentum they’ve built for the incumbent.

Additionally, donors say Louisiana Legacy PAC, a pro-Cassidy super PAC, is gearing up for a fight as well. Legacy PAC has so far raised $670,000 this cycle, but that number should climb based on historic fundraising patterns. During the 2020 cycle, the PAC raised and spent about $1.2 million.

Cassidy could raise eleventy trillion dollars, but it doesn’t matter he is 100% unelectable.

Agreed, I don't care how many on here say you have to vote for the republican. I'm not voting for him. Another republican or no one.

Of course Rolfe's shite rag writes this article.

count me in the fold of people who will not vote for Cassidy. I changed my party to no party because of GOP members like him.

You’d think any current Republican elected official with even so-so name recognition who can raise a couple million could primary him.

But the question is who will take that jump. Won’t be Johnson or Scalise, as they seem to be good on the House totem pole. Graves, Letlow or…hell…freaking Clay Higgins?

Landry is Governor. Maybe Liz Murril? Or does someone like Allan Seabaugh give it a try?
