President Donald Trump has escalated his war against longtime Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, urging Republicans to “VOTE OUT” the establishment incumbent in Saturday’s high-stakes GOP primary and back Trump-endorsed Congresswoman Julia Letlow instead.
Now, on the eve of the May 16 primary, Trump is reportedly intensifying the pressure campaign and rallying MAGA voters to send Cassidy packing once and for all.
Trump wrote on X:
Highly Respected America First Congresswoman, Julia Letlow, of the wonderful State of Louisiana, is a Great Star, has been from the very beginning, and only gets better! Julia is running for the United States Senate in Louisiana, a place I love and WON BIG, six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
I know Julia well, have seen her tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and she is a TOTAL WINNER! A Proud Mother of two children, Julia is a wonderful person, has ALWAYS delivered for Louisiana, and would continue doing so in the United States Senate. As your next Senator, Julia will work tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Support our Amazing Farmers and Fishermen, Champion Louisiana Oil & Gas, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.
Election Day is tomorrow, Saturday, May 16th.
Vote for Julia Letlow – She has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and will never let you down!
JUST IN: President Trump just called on ALL Republicans to VOTE OUT Sen. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana tomorrow, May 16, and vote for Julia Letlow

Cassidy has spent years trying to walk a political tightrope, presenting himself as a conservative to Louisiana voters while repeatedly undermining Trump and the America First movement in Washington. Conservatives never forgot when Cassidy sided with Democrats during Trump’s impeachment circus after January 6, prompting the Louisiana Republican Party to formally censure him.
Despite Senate leadership’s attempts to prop him up, Cassidy has remained politically vulnerable in a state Trump won by more than 20 points in 2024.
