Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who did not align with Trump's preferences.

Story summary

President Donald Trump has heavily endorsed Republican candidates for Senate and U.S. House races this year as Republicans aim to maintain their majorities in both chambers. However, there are several key races where he has not provided an endorsement. Trump's backing was particularly influential in ousting Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) from the Republican caucuses, as they lost their primaries to candidates who received his support.
