WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump urged voters to support Julia Letlow in the Louisiana Senate runoff by mentioning the source (see truthsocial) on a Truth Social post on June 27, 2026 at 4:56 AM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “VOTE FOR JULIA TODAY!!! DJT”
The brief, all-caps message signals Trump’s direct involvement in the Republican primary runoff for a U.S. Senate seat in Louisiana. Trump linked to a previous Truth Social post about the race by mentioning the source (see truthsocial), reinforcing his endorsement of Letlow as his preferred candidate in the contest.
Julia Letlow serves as a U.S. Representative from Louisiana and has built her political career in the state’s 5th Congressional District (see house.gov). She entered Congress in 2021 after winning a special election to fill the seat left vacant by the death of her husband, Luke Letlow, who died of complications from COVID-19 before he could take office (see ballotpedia.org). Her campaign for the Senate seat marks a significant step up in Louisiana Republican politics (see julialetlow.com).
Trump’s endorsement carries substantial weight in Republican primary elections. His backing can reshape fundraising, media attention, and voter turnout in competitive races. The Louisiana runoff represents one of several Senate contests where Trump has inserted himself as a kingmaker for GOP candidates.
In the last 30 days, 135 of 617 Trump posts focused on the topic of elections, reflecting the volume of his engagement with races across the country as the political calendar intensifies.
The outcome of the Louisiana runoff could shape the balance of power in the U.S. Senate and test the reach of Trump’s influence over Republican voters in a deep-red state.
