U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., continues to go to bat for U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., as he looks to take down U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.
In Louisiana, Bill Cassidy is in a runoff with liberal Senator Mary Landrieu, Rubio wrote supporters of his Reclaim America PAC on Wednesday. National Democrats need Landrieu to win, or their hopes to stop our plan to repeal and replace Obamacare will take a huge hit. So I'm hitting the ground this week with Bill Cassidy.
