被特朗普总统赶下台的一名参议院共和党人隐晦地抨击了特朗普，并准备在自己剩余的任期内成为其执政议程的反对者。
特朗普此前在共和党初选中支持众议员朱莉娅·莱特洛（路易斯安那州共和党人），可能就此将路易斯安那州共和党参议员比尔·卡西迪逐出参议院，但这位议员并未平静地退出国会政治生涯。
自卡西迪的初选结果尘埃落定以来，目前进入莱特洛与路易斯安那州财政部长约翰·弗莱明之间的 runoff 决选阶段，这位议员已经明确反对特朗普的一些核心政策和支出提案。

卡西迪在X平台上发布了一篇长文，谈及美国的未来并呼吁团结。尽管他未直接点名特朗普，但他对领导力的看法似乎暗批了总统。
“最好的情况是，美国通过那些明白公职是责任而非表演的领导人实现自我革新，”卡西迪说道。“美国民众不会期望领导人完美无缺，但他们确实期望领导人严肃认真。”
“领导人应当沉稳，而非反复无常；应当深思熟虑，而非冲动行事，”他继续说道。“他们的言论应当缓和紧张局势，而非激化分歧。他们的行动应当将国家的长期利益置于短期政治或个人私利之上。”

这番表态此前，卡西迪已公开在伊朗战争和上周早些时候司法部宣布的近20亿美元“反武器化”意外拨款问题上与特朗普决裂。
当被问及这篇帖子时，卡西迪在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示：“无论是在婚姻、商业还是政治领域，一旦信任遭到破坏，办事都会更加困难。”
“这是对生活的观察，”他说。“相反，如果你想办成事，就要建立信任。”
这一切都发生在特朗普将卡西迪列为其所谓“复仇之旅”的目标之后。
卡西迪与其他几名共和党人一道，在2021年1月6日国会山骚乱后的弹劾审判中投票认定特朗普有罪。他并未为这一票感到后悔，上周败选后不久他对记者表示，自己“投票是为了维护宪法”。
“这可能让我失去了席位，但谁在乎呢？我有幸投票维护了宪法，”卡西迪说。“这难道不是一件很棒的事吗？”
周二，当被问及卡西迪对总统的暗批时，白宫告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，可以去查看特朗普在Truth Social上针对这位议员的大量帖子。
特朗普在初选中庆祝卡西迪落败，并将卡西迪描绘成不忠之徒，因为他曾投票弹劾自己。
“比尔·卡西迪此前虚假地利用他与我的‘关系’开展政治生涯，并因此赢得选举，之后却以荒谬的虚假罪名投票弹劾我，过去如此，现在更是疯癫至极，”特朗普说道。“他对帮助自己当选的人的不忠已经成为传奇，很高兴看到他的政治生涯结束了！”
此后不久，卡西迪在参议院投票反对特朗普，与几乎所有参议院民主党人一道限制总统对伊朗的战争权力。他投下了关键一票推动该决议推进，但预计该决议再次提交参议院投票时将失败。
与其他几名共和党人一样，他明确反对“反武器化”基金，在上周一场紧张的闭门会议后，该基金暂时打乱了共和党为特朗普任期剩余时间内的移民执法工作拨款的计划。

卡西迪与其他几位同僚一样，希望国会能够对该基金拥有发言权。
“民众关心的是维持生计，而非在没有法律先例的情况下设立一笔 slush 基金（黑金/ slush fund 通常指非公开的非法活动资金），”卡西迪说。“我们是法治国家。如果需要达成和解，我们可以进行讨论，国会应当共同做出决定。”

Ousted Senate Republican digs in against Trump, takes jab at leadership style
May 26, 2026 2:30pm EDT / Fox News
Senator Bill Cassidy said leaders should be ‘steady, not erratic’ in an apparent jab at the president
By Alex Miller, Fox News
Fox News senior correspondent Jonathan Serrie reports on the primary defeat of Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., whose loss signals President Donald Trump’s strong grip on the GOP following the senator’s 2021 impeachment vote.

A Senate Republican ousted by President Donald Trump took a veiled shot at the president and is poised to become a foil to his agenda during Cassidy’s waning time in office.
Trump may have vanquished Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., from the upper chamber when he endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La., in his primary race, but the lawmaker is not going quietly into the sunset of his political career in Congress.
Since the dust settled on Cassidy’s primary race, which is now headed to a runoff between Letlow and Louisiana state Treasurer John Fleming, the lawmaker has already dug his heels in against some of Trump’s key policy and spending desires.

In a lengthy post on X, Cassidy wrote of America’s future and called for unity. And though he did not explicitly name Trump, his viewpoint on leadership appeared to take a jab at the president.
“At its best, America has renewed itself through leaders who understood that public office is a responsibility, not a performance,” Cassidy said. “The American people do not expect perfection from their leaders, but they do expect seriousness.”
“Leaders who are steady, not erratic. Thoughtful, not impulsive,” he continued. “Their words should lower the temperature rather than inflame division. Their actions should place the long-term interests of the country above short-term political or personal gain.”
SENATE GOP ERUPTS OVER TRUMP DOJ ‘ANTI-WEAPONIZATION’ FUND, PUNTS ICE, BORDER PATROL FUNDING

Those messages came after Cassidy publicly broke with Trump on both the Iran war and the surprise nearly $2 billion “anti-weaponization” fund announced by the Department of Justice earlier last week.
When asked about the post, Cassidy told Fox News Digital in a statement, “If trust is destroyed, whether in marriage, business, or politics, it’s harder to get things done.”
“It is an observation of life,” he said. “Conversely, if you want to get things done, build trust.”
It all comes after Trump made Cassidy one of his targets in his so-called revenge tour.
Cassidy, along with a handful of other Republicans, voted to convict him during the last impeachment proceedings following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill. And he doesn’t regret that vote, telling reporters last week shortly after his loss that he “voted to uphold the Constitution.”

“It may have cost me my seat, but who cares? I had the privilege of voting to uphold the Constitution,” Cassidy said. “Isn’t that a great thing?”
The White House, when asked for comment Tuesday on Cassidy’s apparent barb toward the president, told Fox News Digital to review the slew of Trump’s Truth Social posts about the lawmaker.
Trump celebrated Cassidy’s loss in his primary, and painted the lawmaker as being disloyal because of his impeachment vote.
“Bill Cassidy, after falsely using his ‘relationship’ with me during his political career, and winning Elections because of it, voted to impeach me on preposterous charges that were fake then, and now, are criminally insane,” Trump said. “His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it’s nice to see that his political career is OVER!”
Shortly after, Cassidy bucked Trump on the Senate floor, joining nearly every Senate Democrat to handcuff the president’s war powers in Iran. He provided the pivotal vote to advance the resolution, which is expected to fail when brought to the floor once more.
And he, like several other Republicans, is outright rejecting the “anti-weaponization” fund, which, after a tense, closed-door meeting last week, has temporarily derailed the GOP’s push to fund immigration enforcement for the remainder of Trump’s term.

Cassidy, like several of his colleagues, wanted Congress to have a say on the fund.
“People are concerned about making their own ends meet, not about putting a slush fund together without a legal precedent,” Cassidy said. “We’re a nation of laws. If there needs to be a settlement, let’s consider it, and Congress should come together and decide on that.”
