WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump declared Julia Letlow the winner of the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate from Louisiana on a Truth Social post on June 27, 2026 at 10:55 PM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR U.S. SENATOR FROM LOUISIANA JULIA LETLOW WINS! ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP! TRUMP VANCE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump shared a campaign-style graphic featuring himself alongside Letlow, with Trump-Vance branding and the phrase “Make America Great Again.” The image highlighted both the nomination victory and the presidential endorsement in bold text against a blue gradient background.
Letlow’s path to the Senate nomination carries a notable backstory. Her late husband, Luke Letlow, won election to represent Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District in 2020 but died of COVID-19 complications before taking office (see wikipedia.org). Julia Letlow then won a special election in 2021 to fill the seat, serving in the U.S. House before pursuing the Senate race (see ballotpedia.org).
