Louisiana GOP Primary: Fleming Surges Ahead of Cassidy

Posted 6 hours ago
In a stunning political development, a recent poll reveals significant turbulence for Republican Senator Bill Cassidy as he faces a formidable challenge from Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming in the upcoming U.S. Senate primary.
Conducted by JMC Analytics and Polling from October 15-17, the survey shows Fleming leading with 25% support among likely Republican voters, just ahead of Cassidy at 23%. This shift in momentum is particularly striking given that only six months ago, Cassidy appeared to hold a stronger position in the race.
The poll indicates that if the primary were to proceed to a head-to-head matchup, Fleming would expand his lead to 40% against Cassidy’s 29%, with a notable 31% of respondents still undecided. This data highlights a growing dissatisfaction among Louisiana Republicans with Cassidy, who has drawn backlash for his participation in the impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
Fleming's campaign is buoyed by a grassroots movement, boasting over 200 volunteers and more than 10,000 signs throughout the state. His experience as a Navy veteran and past role as a U.S. Congressman align him closely with conservative values that resonate with Louisiana's Republican base.
Endorsed by Trump in 2023 during his run for state treasurer, Fleming's ascent is seen as a continuation of the former President’s influence in the state, where Trump-backed candidates have successfully swept the board in recent elections. This backing has allowed Fleming to capitalize on Cassidy's faltering support, particularly among Republican voters who view Cassidy's impeachment vote as a betrayal.
In contrast, Cassidy's campaign appears to be struggling amid his ties to Senate Democrats, having stated in the past that Trump "cannot win a general election." This sentiment has not resonated well with the Republican electorate, leading many to question the senator's loyalty to the party’s core values.
The recent poll results come at a critical time as Republicans gear up for the 2026 Senate elections, and they underscore the importance of party unity and loyalty in reclaiming and maintaining power. With the primary just six months away, Cassidy has a challenging road ahead to restore his standing among the party base.
As the political landscape in Louisiana heats up, many eyes will undoubtedly be on this race, where the return of a true conservative voice—embodied by John Fleming—may offer a new direction for the state's Republican Party.
