Cassidy recently sat down for an interview with CNN, where he argued that Republicans, above everything, need to get President Joe Biden out of the White House, but Trump is not the best man for the job.

"I think Joe Biden needs to be replaced, but I don't think Americans would vote for someone who's been convicted, so I'm just very sorry about how all of this is playing out," he explained.

Trump is currently facing 91 felony charges in four criminal indictments that have demanded incredible amounts of his time and money as he runs for president.

One of the cases involves Trump's mishandling of classified documents, which Cassidy describes as a "slam dunk" case for prosecutors.

Despite his reservations, Cassidy says "any Republican" candidate "will do a better job" than Biden, but he's confident Trump will lose.

When pressed on whether he would vote for Trump if he is the winner of the GOP primaries, Cassidy dodged, responding, "I'm going to vote for a Republican."
