Trump allies poured $13.5 million into state Senate races in Indiana, with one redistricting resister\u2019s race still yet to be called Friday. Experts say it was a stunning sum for small races that delivered an outsized message to anyone in the party thinking of going rogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Indiana result said you try any wiggle room \u2013 the executioner comes,\u201d former President Bill Clinton\u2019s advisor James Carville told The Post.<\/p>\n
Near the top of Trump\u2019s list is Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who voted to convict him on \u201cincitement of insurrection\u201d after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. Trump tore into Cassidy after his nomination of Dr. Casey Means for US Surgeon General imploded<\/a> over her position on vaccines.<\/p>\n \u201cMagic seldom happens this close to an election. It\u2019s pretty clear that Cassidy is not going to win,\u201d said Carville. Trump got behind challenger Rep. Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) and late last month called Cassidy \u201cvery disloyal.\u201d Republican state Treasurer John Fleming is also running. <\/p>\n Trump is also salivating to take down Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has pushed to release<\/a> files on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and opposed the president\u2019s Big Beautiful Bill \u2013 flying to his district<\/a> to endorse former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein. Outside groups have poured $10 million into ads TV trashing Massie.<\/p>\n Trump is also keen to settle scores with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who resisted his pleas to \u201cfind 11,780 votes\u201d in their infamous phone call after the 2020 elections. <\/p>\n Sen.
