WASHINGTON: Bill Cassidy, the Republican senator says former President Donald Trump should quit the Presidential race as he is not in a position to win against Democratic President Joe Biden, western media reported on Sunday.
Cassidy, is among of of seven Senate Republicans who voted against Trump at the second impeachment trial in 2021.
The Senator strongly believed it is evident from the federal documents that Trump has committed crimes, so the voters should not elect a person who was involved in criminal acts while being a president.
He said it is up to Trump to decide about his presidential run but he will lose to Joe Biden according to the current polls.

Cassidy said he does not expect American public to vote for a convicted person.
He further stated Trump is facing several indictments and the evidence against him is quite strong. The Senator viewed there are chances that Trump could be convicted in the cases so why the American public should vote for a convicted person.
Despite all cases Trump is by far the leading Republican presidential candidate in the 2024 election.
The first presidential primary debate of Republican party also known as GOP, will be held on Wednesday in Milwaukee city.
Earlier Trump in a post on social media said that there is no reason for him to participate in the presidential primary debate being a leading the runner up.
Trump has termed all the investigations and indictments against him as part of a coordinated attempt by Democrats to weaken his candidacy.
