AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoLouisiana Politics: Louisiana voters head to the polls Saturday, and the biggest test is the Republican Senate primary where Sen. Bill Cassidy is fighting for his political life against Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow, with State Treasurer John Fleming also in the mix—no clear front-runner, and a runoff looms if nobody hits 50%. Trump’s Revenge Politics: Trump has gone all-in publicly, calling Cassidy “disloyal” and pushing Letlow as the “winner,” turning the race into a direct referendum on whether GOP loyalty beats incumbency. Voting Rights Backdrop: The contest is unfolding after the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act shakeup, which has already scrambled maps and raised fears of reduced Black representation. Statewide Ballot: Voters also decide five constitutional amendments covering civil service, school governance, teacher pay, property taxes, and judicial retirement age, while U.S. House primaries were suspended after a court ruling. Weather: Saturday looks pleasantly mild, but Gulf moisture returns Sunday with scattered storms possible.
