Julia Letlow and Treasurer John Fleming in the May 16 GOP primary. Cassidy has publicly complained that the National Republican senatorial Committee hasn\u2019t funded his reelection bid enough,a claim that drew a sharp,profanity-laced response from NRSC leadership. The NRSC has released ads backing Cassidy, with endorsements from Sen.Tim Scott and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and a January fundraiser raised about $652,000 for Cassidy.<\/p>\n<p>Polls in the race show a fluid landscape: some surveys give Letlow a lead, others show Cassidy or Fleming ahead, and projections vary about whether a runoff will be required if no candidate wins a majority. Louisiana\u2019s primary system is notable as the state is returning to customary partisan primaries in 2026 after years of a jungle primary format, making the outcome of the May race crucial for who advances to the runoff if needed on June 27. Letlow benefits from Trump\u2019s endorsement, while Cassidy\u2019s anti-Trump stance is cited by opponents as a vulnerability.The race is played out against a backdrop of large campaign war chests on both sides and differing forecasts from multiple pollsters about who will emerge as the primary front-runner.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A GOP senator who voted to convict President Donald Trump accused the Republican establishment of not pouring enough money into his already cash-rich reelection campaign, Punchbowl News reported Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Louisiana Sen.

The 2026 Senate election is the first in the state since it <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/primary-louisiana-election-congress-jungle-4d6c11151549c26811db28a0114e2c96\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">switched<\/a> back to conducting traditional partisan primaries as opposed to the all-party &ldquo;jungle primary&rdquo; system it used from the 2010 to 2024 election cycles.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The trajectory of this race is clear. Bill Cassidy is collapsing under the weight of his anti-Trump record, while Julia Letlow is building an insurmountable lead thanks to President Trump&rsquo;s complete and total endorsement,&rdquo; a Letlow campaign spokesperson told the DCNF in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson pointed to a March <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/magapolling\/status\/2039502813932441637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey<\/a> by American Pulse Research &amp; Polling that showed Letlow at 31%, Fleming at 25% and Cassidy at 21%, &mdash; a result that would see the incumbent missing the runoff election altogether. The same poll had the Trump-endorsed Letlow narrowly edging out Fleming in a runoff 37% to 34%.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Letlow spokesperson also pointed to a BDPC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klfy.com\/your-local-election-hq\/whos-leading-new-polls-in-louisiana-senate-race-show-different-leaders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll<\/a> from the same month that showed Letlow at 29%, Fleming at 23% and Cassidy missing the runoff with 19%. The same poll also showed Letlow narrowly prevailing over Fleming in the runoff.<\/p>\n<p>A Fabrizio, Lee &amp; Associates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shreveporttimes.com\/story\/news\/2026\/03\/17\/julia-letlow-poll-has-her-leading-louisiana-senate-race-against-bill-cassidy-and-trump-endorsement\/89193984007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll<\/a> of likely Republican primary voters conducted in March showed Letlow leading Cassidy by a razor-thin margin: the Trump-backed challenger had 27% of support, the incumbent had 26%, Fleming had 19%, and 28% of voters were undecided. The poll showed that in a hypothetical runoff election between Letlow and Cassidy, Letlow polled 46% of the vote to Cassidy&rsquo;s 34%, with the remaining 20% of voters undecided.<\/p>\n<p>Letlow&rsquo;s campaign told the Shreveport Times that it did not commission the survey, although it uses the firm that conducted it for polling.<\/p>\n<p>However, a Public Opinion Strategies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klfy.com\/your-local-election-hq\/sen-cassidy-poll-shows-double-digit-lead-over-letlow-fleming-in-party-primary\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll<\/a> conducted the same month and sponsored by Cassidy&rsquo;s campaign had the senator on top with 35%, Letlow at 24% and Fleming at 21%. It also showed Cassidy narrowly surviving his primary challenge polling 45% in a hypothetical runoff compared to Letlow&rsquo;s 43%.<\/p>\n<p>Some Louisiana Republicans observed that Letlow has largely failed to emerge as the race&rsquo;s clear frontrunner, despite holding a coveted endorsement by the country&rsquo;s sitting president.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Trump endorsement has not had a close-out move. Cassidy was ready for her,&rdquo; Republican Louisiana State Rep. Mike Bayham, who has remained neutral during the primary, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/04\/10\/louisiana-senate-letlow-cassidy-fleming-trump-00866362\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told<\/a> Politico on Friday. &ldquo;They defined her before she introduced herself.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Before winning election to the House in a 2021 special election, Letlow worked for the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) where she played a role pushing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) workshops and &ldquo;anti-racism&rdquo; efforts, the DCNF first reported in January. A resurfaced 2020 video showed Letlow, who now publicly opposes &ldquo;woke ideology,&rdquo; vowing to establish a DEI office at the university.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re in the middle of a dogfight,&rdquo; Cassidy aide Mark Harris told Politico. &ldquo;Everyone&rsquo;s expectation is that she would shoot to a large lead and that we&rsquo;d all be running from behind. But frankly I think they just weren&rsquo;t ready for this race.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Fleming, the third major GOP candidate in the race, is a 74-year-old former congressman who was one of the nine co-founders of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.<\/p>\n<p>Since Louisiana is a deep red state that Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/2024-election\/results\/louisiana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">carried<\/a> by 24 points in the 2024 presidential election, the winner of the GOP primary is all but guaranteed to win the November general election. The state&rsquo;s last Democratic senator, Mary Landrieu, lost reelection to Cassidy in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Cassidy is one of three remaining GOP senators who voted to convict Trump in 2021. Murkowski won reelection in 2022 despite Trump endorsing her opponent. Collins, currently the only Republican senator representing a state Kamala Harris won in 2024, is seeking reelection in November where she is the presumptive GOP nominee.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/union-membership-plummets-to-record-low\/\" title=\"Union Membership Plummets to Record Low\">legitimate news publisher<\/a> that can provide a large audience.
