GOP senator: Republicans will lose if they relitigate the pastSen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) argued during an interview on Sunday that Republicans will lose in 2024 if they relitigate 2020.

"If we relitigate 2020 over and over again, it won't change the result in 2020, but we are sure to lose in 2024," Cassidy said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Cassidy's remarks came during a discussion about Rep. Anthony Gonzalez's (R-Ohio) announcement last week that he is retiring from politics. Gonzalez, who voted for former President Trump's impeachment, referred to Trump as "a cancer for the country" in his announcement. 

Cassidy said on NBC that Gonzalez was acting on "personal priorities."

“Politicians are not victims,” Cassidy said of Gonzalez's remarks.

"If we have a positive agenda, which addresses the fact that the Biden administration is in disarray, whether it's inflation, the border, Afghanistan. Then, the country will win, and we'll win," Cassidy noted of the party moving forward.

"But if we choose to be bullied, we'll lose," Cassidy said.
