Fleming bets MAGA conservatism can beat the Trump-backed Letlow in Louisiana Senate runoff
TL;DR
Louisiana state Treasurer John Fleming, a longtime Trump ally and former Trump administration official, is in a tight Senate runoff against Rep. Julia Letlow, who is backed by President Trump and Gov. Jeff Landry. Fleming argues he’s the more MAGA-conservative option and has self-funded his bid, while Letlow led the first round and maintains strong endorsements. With expected low turnout, the race will test whether Trump’s endorsements still move GOP voters as Fleming seeks a grassroots surge to overcome Letlow’s early edge.
