MS NOW Host Flat Out Says: I Can't Speak for GOP Voters Because I Don't Know Them Very Well'

"I can't really speak for Republican voters, I don't know them very well, he said, before continuing to surmise that based on the commentary around the race, the problem voters had with Cassidy was his attempts to suck up to Trump on the campaign trail."

"Cassidy had the courage to vote to impeach Donald Trump on January the 6th, or related to January 6th, but since then has spent most of his time trying to suck up to the president, trying to warm up to the president."

"At one point, people have pointed out that he's a doctor, but he voted to confirm RFK Jr., he said. He continued: And so when the president smelt that there was a little bit of blood in the water around Cassidy, and he was being disloyal to him, even though he was trying to kind of suck up to him, the president went for the kill."

"And I think there's a lot to unpack in terms of how much political power Trump still has in all of this. And as I said, the bigger test might be with [Thomas] Massie in Kentucky but no doubt this is a huge win for President Trump to show that"

Bill Cassidy lost a Louisiana Republican primary after Trump-backed pressure helped Rep. Julia Letlow advance to a runoff. Cassidy had voted to convict President Donald Trump during the 2021 impeachment trial tied to the January 6 Capitol riots. Trump campaigned against Cassidy for months, calling him disloyal and urging Letlow to run. After Cassidy’s defeat, Trump declared victory on Truth Social. On MS NOW, Ayman Mohyeldin said he did not know Republican voters well, but suggested voters objected to Cassidy’s attempts to ingratiate himself with Trump. Mohyeldin cited Cassidy’s impeachment vote and later actions, including support for confirming RFK Jr., as evidence of shifting loyalty. He also argued Trump’s political power remained significant and pointed to future tests such as Thomas Massie in Kentucky.
