Fly Out Day News: Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said during a taping of Fly Out Day this morning that the White House has told him that they will stay neutral in his primary race in 2026.
“It’s been communicated the president’s staying neutral,” Cassidy said on the episode, which will air on our YouTube channel later today. “Of course, I’d love an endorsement, but going back to good policy, good politics, I have worked really hard for the people of Louisiana over the last two terms.”
