Sen Kennedy says Trump still has ‘huge impact’ after Louisiana election shakes GOP establishment

President Donald Trump's "huge impact" on Republican politics is alive and well, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said Sunday, pointing to the president's endorsement that helped shake up a Louisiana Senate race and unseat incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy.

"Unless you're God's perfect idiot, the result was predictable," Kennedy told "The Sunday Briefing."

"The polls have shown for well over a year that Senator Cassidy was in trouble, [and] I think the president's endorsement of Congresswoman [Julia] Letlow was sort of the icing on the cake.
