The Associated Press called Julia Letlow the winner of Louisiana’s Republican Senate primary runoff, advancing her to the general election. The article describes the influence of Donald Trump’s endorsement and the campaigns’ contrasting messages.
The Associated Press called the runoff for Letlow, who had finished first in the earlier primary with nearly 45% of the vote. She now becomes the immediate favorite to succeed Sen. Bill Cassidy, the article says. Letlow thanked Trump for his endorsement, and her campaign also had support from Gov. Jeff Landry and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
Letlow and Fleming’s campaigns presented contrasting appeals, including disputes over diversity, equity and inclusion and carbon-capture projects. The article also reports that Democrat Jamie Davis defeated Gary Crockett in the Democratic Senate primary.
