In 2021, Cassidy declared the second Trump impeachment case to be constitutional after earlier having voted that the procedure was unconstitutional. The he voted to convict the former president and faced a firestorm of opposition from Louisiana Republicans, including the state party organization, which censured him. Cassidy, however, took comfort that his liberal predecessor, Mary Landrieu, supported both of those votes against Trump.
