William Morgan „Bill“ Cassidy (* 28. September 1957 in Highland Park, Illinois) ist ein US-amerikanischer Politiker. Seit 2015 vertritt er den Bundesstaat Louisiana im US-Senat. Zuvor hatte er seit 2009 dem Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten angehört.
Senator Bill Cassidy sagte, er habe für eine Verurteilung Trumps gestimmt, »weil er schuldig ist«, teilte Cassidy mit. »Unsere Verfassung und unser Land sind wichtiger als eine einzelne Person«, so Cassidy.
Der weitere Umgang mit Trump, der nun theoretisch erneut für die Präsidentschaft kandidieren könnte, dürfte für erhebliche Spannungen bei den Republikanern sorgen.
