What happened
Rep. Julia Letlow won Louisiana’s Republican U.S. Senate primary runoff, defeating state Treasurer and former Rep. John Fleming in the race to succeed Sen. Bill Cassidy. Letlow, who campaigned heavily on President Donald Trump’s endorsement, led by roughly 56% to 57% in reported results, giving Trump another high-profile victory in a GOP nomination fight. Cassidy had been denied renomination after drawing Trump’s ire for voting to convict him in his impeachment trial. In heavily Republican Louisiana, Letlow’s runoff win puts her in strong position heading into the general election and could make her the first Republican woman to represent the state in the Senate.
