Julia Letlow, endorsed by President Donald Trump, and state Treasurer John Fleming advanced to the Louisiana GOP Senate runoff scheduled for Saturday after finishing ahead of Sen. Bill Cassidy in the May 16 primary. Letlow received nearly 45 percent of the primary vote, Fleming about 28 percent, and Cassidy nearly 25 percent. Trump had denounced Cassidy for voting to convict him in the 2021 impeachment trial.
