Higgins turns down run for Cassidy's Louisiana Senate seat
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) will not run for Sen. Bill Cassidy's (R-La.) seat next year after raising speculation that he might, he announced Thursday. Higgins noted several polls from the GOP Trafalgar Group that indicated Republicans in the state wanted to see him run for the seat and that he had received encouragement to launch a bid. 'For the past year, because so many Patriots privately encouraged me to seek the Senate seat surely to be strongly contested in 2026, I have calmly studied a potential transition of my Congressional service from the People's House to the esteemed Senate,' he said in a statement posted on the social platform X. 'Now, it is my considered determination that current engagement in the House being incredibly significant, it may be ultimately more beneficial to the Republic that I remain in service to the MAGA America First agenda as a senior Republican in the House of Representatives,' he continued. Higgins, who is serving his fifth House term, suggested that if he were to serve in the Senate, 'I would no doubt be forced to avert my focused attention from the battles I am currently engaged in, battles that require my very unique set of skills.' The move clears a lane for Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming to run to the right of Cassidy, a moderate GOP lawmaker, in the 2026 Senate election. Cassidy's seat is rated 'solid Republican' by the nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report, though Cassidy's reelection is far from certain, particularly as one of the few remaining Senate Republicans who voted to convict President Trump in 2021. Despite the pushback Cassidy has received from some Republicans, Higgins said in his statement that he respected Cassidy and thanked him for his service. 'I have no lack of love for my fellow man, and Senator Cassidy is no exception to that fact,' Higgins said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The SC governor's race has no official candidates yet, but who has the early edge?
None of the potential hopefuls in the South Carolina governor's race have jumped in, but two early polls released Tuesday ahead of the June 2026 GOP primary have early indications of who has an edge. A Winthrop University poll showed U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, a Lowcountry congresswoman representing the Charleston-area, had the highest name recognition with 57% of self-identified South Carolina Republicans either familiar or somewhat familiar with her. The poll was taken between Feb. 21 and March 5 after Mace gained national attention with a House floor speech where she accused four men of rape and voyeurism. The margin of error was 4.63 percentage points. Attorney General Alan Wilson was familiar or somewhat familiar to 44% of Republicans. Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette was familiar or somewhat familiar to 38%. The poll found U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-Rock Hill, was at 35% familiarity, Upstate businessman John Warren at 30% familiarity, and state Sen. Josh Kimbrell, R-Spartanburg, at 26% But in a head-to-head matchup between Evette, Mace and Wilson may be a different story, at least 15 months before ballots are cast in the GOP primary. A Trafalgar Group poll of likely Republican voters conducted between Saturday and Monday, found Evette had an early lead if the GOP primary were held today. Evette had 31.5% support, Mace was at 29.1% and Wilson was at 27.9%. The poll had a 2.9% margin of error. Both polls unsurprisingly found that President Donald Trump had a high approval rating among Republicans in the reliably red state, reinforcing why the three perceived front-runners continue to try to align themselves closely with the chief executive. Trafalgar put Trump's approval rating at 73.7% among South Carolina Republicans. Winthrop had Trump's approval rating at 81% among the Palmetto State GOP.
