Bill Cassidy M.D. is chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). He voted to confirm RFKjr as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Headline: NOTUS, 8/8/2025
Torrence Banks reports on how groveling seems to work for Bill:
Cassidy, who was elected to the Senate in 2014, faces a difficult primary with several candidates pushing him on his right. Those candidates include John Fleming, Louisiana’s treasurer and a former congressman, and state Sen. Blake Miguez, who have tried to highlight instances when Cassidy has opposed the Trump agenda in a campaign ad and other comments.
Much of Cassidy’s tension with the MAGA base stems from his vote to convict Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, making him one of seven Republican senators to do so. He is one of only three of those Republicans remaining in the Senate, and the vote clearly had a political cost back home. The Republican Party of Louisiana censured Cassidy after that vote.
Cassidy seems to have turned a corner in his relationship with the president. [emphasis added]
