President Donald Trump on Saturday night offered support for Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow for her state’s Senate race, even though the state has an incumbent Republican senator, Bill Cassidy — and Letlow has not declared her candidacy.
“Should she decide to enter this RACE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Julia Letlow has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, JULIA, RUN!!!”
She responded to Trump’s preemptive endorsement on the social media site X with a post that indicated she is likely open to entering the race.
“I’m honored to have President Trump’s endorsement and trust,” she wrote. “My mission is clear: to ensure the nation our children inherit is safer and stronger. This United States Senate seat belongs to the people of Louisiana, because we deserve conservative leadership that will not waver.”
