The runoff election for the United States Senate seat in Louisiana concluded on Saturday, June 27, with a decisive victory for Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow.
Letlow secured 57% of the vote, outpacing State Treasurer John Fleming, who received 43% of the vote in the runoff.
The outcome marks a significant win for President Donald Trump's America First agenda and his continued efforts to support loyal Republicans over establishment figures.
President Trump personally rallied voters to reject State Treasurer Fleming, a RINO (Republican In Name Only), and back a true fighter in Letlow.
In a statement before the primary, President Trump praised Letlow as a "Highly Respected America First Congresswoman" and a "TOTAL WINNER," highlighting her commitment to key issues such as growing the economy, cutting taxes and regulations, and promoting American energy dominance.
Letlow celebrated her victory in a statement, expressing her gratitude to voters, volunteers, and supporters, as well as President Trump and other conservative leaders who endorsed her campaign.
In her victory speech, Letlow emphasized her commitment to putting Louisiana first and vowed to fight every day to advance the interests of her state.
President Trump offered congratulations to Letlow on Truth Social, praising her as a "truly GREAT Senator" and congratulating her on her decisive victory.
