This is what happens to those that support Trump [View all]

A political group with ties to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pledged $1 million to support a likely challenger to Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., the head of a key Senate committee who provided a pivotal vote for Kennedy’s confirmation as Health and Human Services secretary.

MAHA PAC announced Sunday night it would help bankroll the expected Senate campaign of Louisiana Republican Rep. Julia Letlow, who earned the endorsement of President Donald Trump over the weekend.

Letlow has not formally announced a run for Cassidy’s seat, but Trump’s backing of a potential Republican challenger ensures a heated GOP primary and imperils the incumbent’s reelection chances. Cassidy is one of six Senate Republicans to vote to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial in 2021.

“President Trump is committed to ending the chronic disease epidemic, and Louisianans deserve a Senator who will stand with him in that fight,” wrote Tony Lyons, the co-founder of MAHA PAC and a close friend of Kennedy.

“Congresswoman Letlow has proven herself a tireless champion for Louisiana families. We strongly encourage her to answer President Trump’s call and enter this race,” Lyons added.
