In an election night speech, Cassidy did not directly mention Trump, but appeared to allude to the President and in particular his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
“When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to, but you don’t pout, you don’t whine, you don’t claim the election was stolen, you don’t find a reason why you lost,” the senator said. “You thank the voters for the privilege of representing the state or the country for as long as you’ve had that privilege, and that’s what I’m doing right now.”
Trump congratulated Letlow on beating Cassidy in a post on Truth Social late Saturday.
“Julia Letlow is a fantastic person and, after taking care of some additional business, will make a brilliant Senator for the Great People of Louisiana, a State that I love, helped make prosperous with my Energy Policies and everything else, and won six times in a row, including Primaries,” he wrote.
