Louisiana’s Letlow prepares Senate bid after Trump endorsement

Rep. Julia Letlow is preparing to jump into the Louisiana Senate race against GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy after President Donald Trump publicly endorsed her, according to three people granted anonymity to disclose a yet-to-be-announced bid.

Letlow is expected to announce her decision as soon as Monday, according to two of the people, though the date isn’t set in stone.

The move comes after Trump upended Cassidy’s reelection bid on Saturday night, posting on Truth Social that Letlow, if she ran, would have his endorsement.
