Surely they made no such concession to Cassidy for his vote. For even writing up something like that it shows he is a HUGE RINO a Democrat infiltrator. I’m sure Most conservatives didn’t go along with his demands. He will be a gigantic thorn in RFK,Jr’s side & limit much of what ‘we the People’ want changed. Where does that whole thing stand? Cassidy has his eyes on that title if Kennedy gets ill or tired of the job or he may consider himself a co-agent & make decisions without consulting RFK,Jr. & the action will be too late to rescind. I see big problems allowing him to be co-agent. Did Trump okay that? After all, Trump chose RFK,Jr for the job, not Cassidy. Maybe he doesn’t even want Cassidy in the mix? I’m pretty sure I don’t.

It's absolutely a problem. It's a problem that is going to have to be managed. Another consideration: Cassidy is up for re-election in two years and already has a primary challenger. He may not be in the Senate after 2027. We'll see. I can't imagine he's very popular in Louisiana after voting to impeach Trump in 2021.

He’s not even remotely bound by that.

Like the Democrats, he has been confirmed and he should do as he & the President please now. Cassidy can’t take back his “yes” vote. Fuck him over.

If not, that’s why that side of the aisle gets their way and you don’t.

I don't disagree. But it's a senator from the same party. And the Trump administration will need Cassidy's vote to get other big things through the Senate. So I do think they're going to try to abide by the agreement, at least broadly.
