In the premiere episode of The Pelican Brief, host David Tatman dives into one of Louisiana’s most high-stakes political battles in years: the 2026 U.S. Senate race.
Senator Bill Cassidy is seeking a third term—but with his vote to convict Donald Trump still fresh in GOP voters’ minds and Louisiana’s new closed primary system reshaping the electoral landscape, Cassidy faces mounting pressure from a crowded field of conservative challengers.
We break down:
The end of Louisiana’s “jungle primary” and what that means for moderates
The GOP contenders lining up against Cassidy—Fleming, Miguez, Skrmetta, Wyatt, and possibly Emerson or Letlow
Trump’s looming influence over the race
Polling insights and where undecided voters might break
The broader implications for national Republican strategy
Get the facts, the forecasts, and the political fault lines—all in under 30 minutes.
