Trump-Backed Julia Letlow Wins Louisiana GOP Senate Primary Runoff

In May, The Gateway Pundit reported on the stunning and thoroughly deserved defeat, establishment RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy experienced in Louisiana’s GOP Senate primary, after he finished a humiliating third place and was booted from the race entirely.

Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming advanced to the June 27 runoff.

Delivering a massive win for President Donald Trump’s America First agenda and his ongoing revenge tour against disloyal Republicans who betrayed him, on Saturday, June 27, Letlow defeated Fleming. Julia Letlow received 57% of the vote to Fleming’s 43%.

President Trump personally rallied voters to reject this RINO and back a true fighter Letlow writing on X before the primary:

Highly Respected America First Congresswoman, Julia Letlow, of the wonderful State of Louisiana, is a Great Star, has been from the very beginning, and only gets better! Julia is running for the United States Senate in Louisiana, a place I love and WON BIG, six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

I know Julia well, have seen her tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and she is a TOTAL WINNER! A Proud Mother of two children, Julia is a wonderful person, has ALWAYS delivered for Louisiana, and would continue doing so in the United States Senate. As your next Senator, Julia will work tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Support our Amazing Farmers and Fishermen, Champion Louisiana Oil & Gas, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.

Election Day is tomorrow, Saturday, May 16th.

Vote for Julia Letlow – She has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and will never let you down!

Letlow celebrated her victory in a statement post to X:

I am deeply honored by the trust the people of Louisiana have placed in me.

Thank you to every voter, volunteer, and supporter who made this victory possible. I am grateful for President Trump’s endorsement, and the support of Governor Landry, Leader Scalise, Congressman Higgins, Attorney General Murrill, and so many more incredible conservatives who came together to make tonight possible.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to represent Louisiana in the House, and I am humbled by the opportunity to continue serving our state in the United States Senate. I will never forget that this is your seat, not mine, and I will fight every day to put Louisiana first.

God bless Louisiana, and God bless America.

I am deeply honored by the trust the people of Louisiana have placed in me.
