Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy says that any questions raised by his opponents about his loyalty to President Donald Trump and his agenda are “ridiculous.”

In an interview with NOTUS, Cassidy, the chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, who held his first official reelection campaign event last week, said that these comments are much ado about nothing.

“It’s being said by people who don’t have anything else to campaign on. The president has eight Cabinet secretaries that he would not have if I had not voted for them and got them through. When the secretary of defense was [confirmed]… I was the 50th vote,” Cassidy said about Pete Hegseth.
