The Hill: Cassidy’s vote to impeach Trump could imperil his reelection

Cassidy, for his part, has brushed off concerns over the impact his impeachment vote could have in 2026. “No. I mean, it is what it is, and I’ve done a good job for the state,” Cassidy told The Hill last week. “And good policy is good politics.” “And if I have a challenger, I have a challenger. But I can’t stay up awake at night worried about that,” he said. “There’s a wonderful scripture I quoted earlier that ‘The day’s own troubles be sufficient for the day.’ And so, I got enough to worry about.” One dynamic that will make Cassidy’s next Senate race different from 2020’s is how voters cast their ballots. Louisiana operated under a “jungle” primary system, in which every candidate running for an office was listed under the same ballot, regardless of party. If no candidate outright won at least half of the vote, the top two finishers ran against each other in the general election.
