Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming feels good about his prospects of beating out Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), thanks in part to new voting rules.

Cassidy incurred the wrath of President Donald Trump in 2021 when he voted to convict Trump on impeachment charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021 , Capitol riot.

Fleming said Cassidy 's waffling on whether to support now Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy will likely help him unseat Cassidy .

Fleming said he had around $150,000 cash on hand when he ran unsuccessfully for Senate in 2016 .

Cassidy is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education , Labor , and Pensions .

Cassidy voted to confirm all of Trump ’s Cabinet members, holding off further MAGA anger over the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard .
