Julia Letlow has been projected to win the Republican runoff election for a U.S. Senate seat in Louisiana, according to the Associated Press and DDHQ. She defeated Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming.
Letlow’s campaign prominently featured an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. According to ABC News, she “largely campaigned on the president's endorsement.” Newsmax reported that her win gave Trump “a win after he backed her to replace GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy.” The Hill noted Letlow was “buoyed by President Trump’s endorsement.”
The seat became open when Senator Bill Cassidy did not receive enough votes in the primary election to advance, as CBS News reported. If elected, Letlow would become the first Republican woman to represent Louisiana in the Senate, according to the New York Times.
Bloomberg reported that DDHQ projected Julia Letlow as the winner of the Republican Senate primary in Louisiana. The Hill stated Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) is projected to defeat Fleming in the runoff for Cassidy’s seat (R-La.).
