参议员比尔·卡西迪因为时间不便而跳过了月球格里芬秀辩论. Senator Bill Cassidy skips Moon Griffon Show debate due to inconvenient time slot.

路易斯安那州参议员比尔·卡西迪将不会参加4月28日的"月球格里芬秀"辩论, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana will not attend an April 28 debate on the Moon Griffon Show, citing the 9 a.m. time slot as inconvenient for working voters. 他曾在前期推动辩论, 但他批评保守的广播形式是无效的, 并将其比作"地下室策略". While he previously pushed for debates, he criticized the conservative radio format as ineffective and compared it to a "basement strategy." 分析人士认为卡西迪最初的辩论要求可能表明他对竞争中的地位感到担忧. Opponents Julia Letlow and John Fleming have accepted the invitation, and analysts suggest Cassidy's initial demands for debates may signal concern about his standing in the competitive race.
