Cassidy is one of seven Republicans convinced by the House leaders’ arguments and voted to condemn Trump in a 57-43 vote.

Cassidy’s decision came as a surprise to some after he met with a statement it showed support for Trump’s acquittal, but his communications director said Cassidy drew up two statements, one for and against Trump’s conviction.

Cassidy had earlier said that the House leaders had done ‘very well’ with their arguments for Trump’s guilt.

However, the arguments fell short because 17 Republicans would have to be guilty of the Democrats.

Since Trump was not convicted, he may run for political office again. He has made it clear that he will remain involved in the political arena, but it is not clear what his future plans are with the Republican Party.
