Los votantes de Luisiana acudieron a las urnas el sábado para las primarias republicanas en la carrera por el Senado de los EE. UU. El senador en ejercicio, Bill Cassidy, se enfrentó a los desafíos de la representante Julia Letlow y del tesorero estatal John Fleming en medio de una fuerte intervención del expresidente Donald Trump.

Las primarias marcaron una prueba clave para los intentos de Trump de desplazar a los republicanos que lo desafiaron en el pasado. Cassidy, uno de los siete senadores republicanos que votaron a favor de condenar a Trump tras el asalto al Capitolio del 6 de enero de 2021, se ha centrado en el futuro en lugar de en los agravios del pasado. “Voy a ganar hoy”, dijo Cassidy en una entrevista. “Puede que vaya a una segunda vuelta. Pero siempre votaré por el bien de mi país y de mi gente”.

Qué dice la gente

Los usuarios de X están reaccionando a los primeros resultados de las primarias republicanas al Senado en Luisiana, que muestran a Julia Letlow por delante del titular Bill Cassidy, atribuyendo muchos el mal desempeño de Cassidy a su voto para condenar a Trump. Las publicaciones resaltan la influencia de Trump y expresan sentimientos contrarios a los llamados RINO (republicanos solo de nombre).
