Bill Cassidy Says He Has No Regrets About Trump Impeachment Vote

Outlets report that Bill Cassidy lost Louisiana’s Republican primary and that his vote to convict Donald Trump in the 2021 impeachment trial was central to coverage of the result. Left-leaning outlets connect the loss to Cassidy’s break with Trump, focusing on pressure over his impeachment vote. Center outlets mostly recount Cassidy’s defense of the vote and reactions to his loss, with some emphasizing Trump’s influence and others his plans after the primary. Right-leaning outlets pair his defense of the vote with the primary result in largely descriptive coverage.
