A confrontation between President Trump and Sen. Bill Cassidy in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday had one GOP senator worried the two men would come to blows.<\/p>

Mr. Trump met with Senate Republicans to implore them to back his election integrity legislation, the Save America Act. He abruptly declared he won\u2019t sign bipartisan housing legislation unless Congress sends him the election bill.<\/p>\n

The president told Mr. Cassidy he didn\u2019t care if the senator voted against him on any matters other than impeachment \u2014 apparently a reference to Mr. Cassidy\u2019s vote to convict Mr. Trump on articles of impeachment stemming from the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

During lunch, Mr. Cassidy, who recently lost a primary and will vacate his seat at the end of this year, stood and pointed his finger at the president. The exchange became heated amid Senate debate over Mr. Trump\u2019s war powers with regard to Iran.<\/p>\n

One senator feared the two men were about to fight, \u201cSeen, Heard & Whispered\u201d has learned.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI stood and said, \u2018You have not told the American people what\u2019s going on. It was supposed to last four weeks; it\u2019s lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what\u2019s going on,\u2019\u201d Mr. Cassidy told reporters after the blowup. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you that\u2019s verbatim, because obviously I was speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost my temper. That\u2019s not appropriate. It\u2019s the Irish in me,\u201d he added. \u201cBut I matched his tone and his volume, and it went back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Cassidy\u2019s opposition to the president has grown in recent weeks since he lost the Republican primary in Louisiana: The incumbent finished third behind Rep. Julia Letlow and state Treasurer John Fleming, who will go to a runoff election to determine the GOP\u2019s nominee. This week, Mr. Cassidy helped the Senate approve a resolution reeling in Mr. Trump\u2019s war powers.<\/p>\n

GOP senators have told Mr. Trump there\u2019s little chance of passing his Save America bill in the Senate, where Democrats have more than enough seats to filibuster. The president has pushed for Republicans to nuke the filibuster, doing away with the supermajority requirement to pass most legislation.<\/p>\n

Update: The Senate late Wednesday held a second vote to end the war with Iran, this time with a different result.<\/em><\/p>
