Cassidy Delivers First Interview Following Republican Midterm Loss: “It Should Be a Lesson: Serve the American People.”

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) joined The Source with Kaitlan Collins for his first interview following Tuesday’s midterm elections to discuss why he believes Republicans lost ground, what the results mean for the future of the party, and the priorities he hopes to address before leaving the Senate. Cassidy said the results should be a wake-up call for Republicans: when voters don’t believe their elected officials are addressing their concerns, they make their voices heard at the ballot box. “If the American people perceive that a party is not serving them, that a party is asking the voter to serve their quest to keep in power, but the politician is not serving the people, the people are going to vote out the political party,” said Dr. Cassidy. “It should just be a lesson: serve the American people, figure out what their issues are. We know health care has been expensive. We know Social Security is going insolvent. We should just make that a marquee issue,” continued Dr. Cassidy. “It’s the opportunity for Republicans to come up with real policy solutions, not messaging bills, not entertainment on YouTube; real policy solutions that address the needs of the American people. That’s the challenge of our party. That’s what we should be doing,” said Dr. Cassidy. ###
