Louisiana GOP Senate Primary Evolves Into a Three-Way Tug-of-War

Louisiana’s GOP Senate race has become a tight three-way contest among Julia Letlow (Trump-backed), Bill Cassidy, and John Fleming, with no clear frontrunner five weeks before the May 16 primary and a June runoff likely. Cassidy attacks the NRSC for not backing him after his Trump impeachment vote, while Fleming says Trump-aligned figures pressed him to drop out but he refused. Letlow is rallying behind Trump’s endorsement, but faces a crowded anti-incumbent field; the White House’s stance appears to favor Cassidy’s exit, underscoring significant intra-party turmoil ahead of the vote.
