Amna Nawaz:
President Trump has successfully ousted a Republican senator who voted to convict him in his impeachment trial five years ago. After losing his bid for a third term, Louisiana's Bill Cassidy took a thinly veiled swipe at the president last night.
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA):
Sometimes, it doesn't turn out the way you wanted to, but you don't pout, you don't whine, you don't claim that election was stolen. You thank the voters for the privilege of representing the state or the country for as long as you have had that privilege.
