Back to EpisodesLouisiana GOP Senate Race: Trump, Cassidy Clash
Description
Louisianas Republican Senate primary is a tight race with no clear frontrunner. Representative Julia Letlow, endorsed by President Trump, is battling incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy, who voted to convict Trump after the January sixth Capitol riot. Letlow has spent less on ads but has received backing from Governor Jeff Landry and local Republicans. Cassidy has poured in massive cash and has been attacking Letlow over stimulus packages and past praise for inclusion initiatives. State Treasurer John Fleming, who has self-funded his bid and stayed in the MAGA lane, is also in the mix. He has led slightly in polls but claims Trumps circle reached out to him to bow out. The race is neck-and-neck, but whoever grabs the nomination should cruise to victory in November as the seat is rated solid Republican.
