Louisiana Rep. Roger Wilder claims Sen. Bill Cassidy revoked his Mardi Gras tickets over political support.

Louisiana state Rep. Roger Wilder claims U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy revoked his Mardi Gras ball tickets after Wilder expressed support for potential challenger Blake Miguez in the 2026 Senate race. Cassidy denies revoking the tickets. Cassidy faces a primary challenge from state Treasurer John Fleming, and the 2026 election will be the first to use closed primaries, which may favor conservative challengers over moderate incumbents.
