Leadership of the Louisiana Republican Party is considering how far it should go in voicing its condemnation of U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy s vote this week in favor to move forward with the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
The state party issued a blistering rebuke of their senior GOP senator immediately after Cassidy joined five other Republicans and all 50 Democrats Tuesday in voting to uphold the trial as constitutional, but members are discussing whether to censure him. My phone has been blowing up since it happened, said Mike Bayham, secretary of the state GOP and a member of its executive committee, in an interview with USA Today Network. This thing has hit a nerve. This is a big vote.
