In Louisiana’s Republican Senate primary runoff, former President Donald Trump reiterated his support for Representative Julia Letlow, who is facing state Treasurer John Fleming after incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy—a frequent Trump critic—finished third in the initial round and became the first sitting senator from either party to lose a primary since 2012. Letlow, elected to the House in a 2021 special election, advanced alongside Fleming, who has emphasized his own conservative credentials despite Trump’s endorsement of his opponent. Trump’s statement, posted on Truth Social as voters headed to the polls, gave Letlow his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” The contest determines the GOP nominee for the Louisiana Senate seat, with Trump’s involvement underscoring the ongoing influence of his endorsements in primary battles.
