Senator Bill Cassidy recently told KEEL News he thinks leading Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump, should drop out of the presidential race.

In the classified documents case, President Trump is heard on a tape showing classified documents to rep… to biographers of Mark Meadows saying, “I shouldn’t have these, they’re not classified… but here they are.” And you hear him flipping through them.

Vivek Ramaswamy- 7%
Mike Pence- 5%
Tim Scott- 3%
Nikki Haley- 2%
Chris Christie- 2%
Doug Burgum- 1%
Asa Hutchinson- 1%

Cassidy's contention is that Trump may be leading the Republican field, but he can't beat Biden.

If President Trump wants to beat President Biden, but he's being dragged down... then he can support our country, he can fulfill that mission of beating Biden by doing the noble thing.

When asked who he would support as the Republican nominee, Cassidy replied:
