U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Louisiana on Saturday, giving Donald Trump a win after he backed her to replace GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy.
Letlow, who was endorsed by Trump, defeated state Treasurer John Fleming in the two-candidate runoff after they finished ahead of Cassidy in the GOP primary May 16.
Letlow pledged her loyalty to Trump in a race where Cassidy, who voted to convict the president on impeachment charges in 2021, spent a year working to keep Trump from going after him. She has promised to work in lockstep with Trump to advance his agenda.
I think the majority of prisoners who haven’t touched grass for years are more informed than this woman, and many of them will have lost their right to vote. At what point do we require basic observation of reality to be reintroduced to society? They should have to visit a judge and explain why they’re qualified to vote again just like ex convicts do.
