Bill Cassidy
US Senator (R-LA)
Both sides land in the same place on Cassidy — a 0.18 gap is inside the noise.
Left-leaning outlets framed Bill Cassidy as a politician who has capitulated to Donald Trump, particularly criticizing his vote for Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General. The tone was predominantly critical, emphasizing Cassidy's failure to meet with Epstein survivors and his perceived lack of integrity in standing up against Trump, which they argue undermines his credibility as a Republican senator.
Right-leaning outlets characterized Bill Cassidy as a Republican who has strayed from the party line, particularly in the context of his criticism of Trump's vaccine policies and his electoral losses. The tone was critical, with discussions framing Cassidy as a 'swamp Republican' who has faced backlash from the MAGA base for not aligning closely enough with Trump, suggesting that his political future is uncertain due to these perceived betrayals.
Blue = left-leaning outlets, red = right-leaning. The bar color is separate: green = favorable coverage, red = hostile.

We don’t judge whether anything said on air is true. Each show’s editorial lean is assigned from published third-party media-bias ratings — before we look at any of its coverage — and the two accounts above are each written from that side’s own airtime, neither in view of the other.
