Defeated GOP Senator Cassidy Expresses Pride in Vote That Enraged Trump

Senator Bill Cassidy, fresh off a political career-ending defeat, signaled Monday he’s an unfettered man who could soon become a thorn in the president’s side for his remaining months in office.

The Louisiana Republican said he had no regrets about his 2021 vote to convict Donald Trump on charges of inciting an insurrection, which ultimately led the president, once reelected, to make unseating him one of his priorities.
