'The executioner comes': James Carville sees no path for GOP senator who wronged Trump
Political strategist James Carville is already writing off a GOP senator who wronged President Donald Trump and is now campaigning for reelection.
"Magic Seldom happens this close to an election," Carville told The New York Post in a Saturday article while talking about Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
Cassidy voted to convict Trump for inciting an insurrection in 2021, and since then, has been on the president's hit list. Last month, Trump called Cassidy "very disloyal" and endorsed Cassidy's challenger, Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA). Carville signaled that what happened in the Hoosier state could be a bad sign for Cassidy's reelection bid.
"The Indiana result said you try any wiggle room — the executioner comes," Carville explained, referring to the results in the Indiana primary last week.
Trump was able to oust five GOP state lawmakers from Indiana who opposed his redistricting demands.
"It's pretty clear that Cassidy is not going to win," Carville said.
