In a head-to-head matchup with other Republican candidates and the sole Democratic candidate, Shaun Wilson, Landry secured a significant 30% of the surveyed voters, while Wilson received 22%.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining five GOP contenders lagged behind in single digits, and the independent candidate garnered 5% of the support. However, with the Louisiana gubernatorial election just around the corner in October, the poll also revealed that 24% of voters remain undecided.<\/p>\n<p>Landry&#8217;s campaign received a major boost when he earned an endorsement from President Donald Trump, positioning him favorably within the Republican Party. The party hopes to reclaim the governorship currently held by Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA), who is in his final year in office.<\/p>\n<p>Landry officially entered the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youngkin-campaigns-in-va-ahead-of-gubernatorial-race\/\" title=\"Youngkin campaigns in Va. ahead of gubernatorial race\">highly anticipated gubernatorial race<\/a> in October 2022.

The lawsuit alleges collusion between the administration and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platforms<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/government-cant-solve-our-cancel-culture-problem\/\" title=\"Government Can\u2019t Solve our Cancel Culture Problem\">suppress free speech<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee, issued a preliminary injunction on Tuesday, prohibiting federal agencies and the Biden administration from engaging in communication with social media companies regarding specific content. While a final ruling is pending, Judge Doughty expressed confidence that the Republican plaintiffs are likely to succeed in proving that the government has used its power to silence opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Among the topics identified by Judge Doughty as being suppressed due to opposition are COVID-19 vaccines, COVID-19 masking and lockdowns, the COVID-19 lab leak theory, the validity of the 2020 election, President Joe Biden&#8217;s policies, the policies of current government officials, and the validity of the Hunter Biden laptop story.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department has filed a notice to appeal the federal court ruling that blocked Biden administration officials from communicating with social media companies. However, regardless of this development, the top two candidates from the October open primary will advance to the November 18 runoff, irrespective of party affiliation. Based on recent polls, it is expected that Landry and Wilson will be the contenders in the runoff.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Landry, a Republican Attorney General, is leading the race for Louisiana governorship with a significant margin.
