Bill Cassidy Suggests \u2064Trump Should \u200cDrop Out of Race<\/h2>\n<p>During a\u2063 recent \u2064interview, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) made some interesting remarks about former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/donald-trump\">Donald\u200d Trump<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-bidens-envoy-threatens-brazil-not-to-question-electronic-vote\/\" title=\"Report: Biden\u2019s envoy threatens Brazil not to question electronic vote\">upcoming general election<\/a>. \u2062While \u2064Cassidy stated that he would vote for Trump if he wins the Republican Party presidential primary,\u2063 he also expressed concerns about Trump&#8217;s chances against President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Cassidy&#8217;s comments were made during an \u2064appearance on \u2062CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State\u200c of the Union&#8221; on \u2062Sunday.\u200d This comes\u2064 after Trump faced\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Breaking911\/status\/1692237256784752895\/retweets\/with_comments\">criticism<\/a> \u2063 for urging other\u2062 Republican candidates to drop out and support him, despite \u200bthe fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/va-republicans-jump-to-in-person-early-voting-lead-model-shows\/\" title=\"VA Republicans Jump to In-Person Early Voting Lead, Model Shows\">primary voting<\/a> is still months\u2063 away and no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-i-learned-at-the-aspen-ideas-reet-festival-sponsored-by-mastercard-paypal-and-prudential-in-partnership-with-bloomberg\/\" title=\"What I Learned at the Aspen Ideas RE$ET Festival Sponsored by Mastercard, PayPal, and Prudential in Partnership with Bloomberg\">primary debates<\/a>\u2062 have taken place.<\/p>\n<p>One\u2063 of Cassidy&#8217;s main \u200dpoints was that Trump is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senator-ill-vote-for-trump-if-he-wins-primary-but-he-should-drop-out-because-hell-lose-to-biden\/\" title=\"GOP Senator: I'll support Trump in the primary, but he should withdraw as he'll lose to Biden.\">facing\u200c 91 felony counts<\/a>, with some of the \u2062strongest evidence \u200dcoming from\u200d Special Counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s investigation into his handling of classified documents. Cassidy mentioned that there\u200b is\u2064 even a tape recording of Trump discussing\u200b the matter, which could potentially lead to a\u2064 conviction.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">&#8220;If that is proven, then we may have a candidate for president who has been \u200dconvicted of a crime,&#8221;\u2062 Cassidy stated. &#8220;I\u200d think\u2063 Joe Biden needs\u200b to\u2063 be \u200breplaced, but I don&#8217;t think Americans will \u2064vote \u200cfor someone who&#8217;s been convicted. So, I&#8217;m just\u200b very sorry about how all this is playing out.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When\u2064 asked if he \u200cbelieves Trump should drop out of the race, Cassidy responded,\u200c &#8220;I think so. But, obviously, that&#8217;s \u200bup to him. I mean, you&#8217;re \u2064just asking me\u200c my opinion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But he will lose to Joe Biden, if you look at\u2062 the current polls,&#8221; Cassidy continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m a\u200d Republican. I think any \u2063Republican on that stage in Milwaukee will do a better job\u200c than Joe\u2063 Biden. And so I want one of them to win. \u2063If former President Trump ends up getting the nomination, but cannot win\u2064 a general, that means we will have four more years of policies which have led to very high inflation, to a loss of purchasing power for the average American equivalent to $10,000, and to many other \u2063things which I\u2064 think have been deleterious to \u200cour country&#8217;s future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if \u200bhe would vote for a Democrat over Trump if Trump wins the nomination, Cassidy firmly stated, &#8220;I&#8217;m going \u200cto\u200b vote for a Republican.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sen.
