Os eleitores da Louisiana foram às urnas neste sábado para as primárias republicanas na disputa pelo Senado dos EUA. O atual senador Bill Cassidy enfrentou desafios da deputada Julia Letlow e do tesoureiro estadual John Fleming em meio ao forte envolvimento do presidente Donald Trump.

As primárias marcaram um teste importante para os esforços de Trump em remover republicanos que o contrariaram no passado. Cassidy, um dos sete senadores do Partido Republicano que votou pela condenação de Trump após o ataque ao Capitólio em 6 de janeiro de 2021, posicionou-se como alguém focado no futuro em vez de mágoas passadas. “Vou vencer hoje”, disse Cassidy em uma entrevista. “Posso ir para um segundo turno. Mas sempre votarei pelo bem do meu país e do meu povo.”

O que as pessoas estão dizendo

Usuários do X estão reagindo aos resultados iniciais das primárias republicanas ao Senado na Louisiana, que mostram Julia Letlow à frente do atual senador Bill Cassidy, com muitos atribuindo o desempenho ruim de Cassidy ao seu voto pela condenação de Trump. As publicações destacam a influência de Trump e expressam sentimentos contrários aos chamados RINO (republicanos apenas no nome).
