WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump endorsed Julia Letlow for the United States Senate in Louisiana, by mentioning the source (see swampthevoteusa) for voters to find polling locations, on a Truth Social post on June 26, 2026 at 6:06 PM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “Highly Respected America First Congresswoman, Julia Letlow, of the wonderful State of Louisiana, is a Great Star, has been from the very beginning, and only gets better! Julia is running for the United States Senate in Louisiana, a place I love and WON BIG, six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024. I know Julia well, have seen her tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and she is a TOTAL WINNER! A Proud Mother of two children, Julia is a wonderful person, has ALWAYS delivered for Louisiana, and would continue doing so in the United States Senate. As your next Senator, Julia will work tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Support our Amazing Farmers and Fishermen, Champion Louisiana Oil & Gas, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Election Day for the Republican Runoff is TOMORROW, Saturday, June 27th. Vote for Julia Letlow — She has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and will never let you down!

Trump called Julia Letlow an “America First” congresswoman and described her as a “TOTAL WINNER” who has delivered for Louisiana. He outlined a broad policy agenda he expects her to champion in the Senate, spanning tax cuts, energy production, border security and Second Amendment protections.
The endorsement lands one day before the Republican runoff election in Louisiana, scheduled for June 27. The Swamp the Vote USA website Trump linked directs voters to find their Election Day polling locations and lists key runoff deadlines, including the close of early voting on June 20 and a mail-in ballot request deadline of June 23 (see swampthevoteusa).
Julia Letlow first entered Congress through a 2021 special election after the death of her husband, Luke Letlow, who died of complications from COVID-19 before he could take office (see wikipedia.org). She has represented Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District and built a record aligned with Trump’s economic and energy priorities (see npr.org).
Trump’s backing follows a pattern of aggressive involvement in Republican primaries across the South. Days earlier, he endorsed former congressman Jerry Carl for Alabama’s 1st Congressional District and state representative Rhett Marques for Alabama’s 2nd District, using similar language about loyalty and his “America First” agenda (see Google).
The endorsement carries significant weight in a deep-red state where Trump claimed six victories across primaries and general elections in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Louisiana Senate races have drawn national attention as Republicans seek to maintain dominance in the state (see wfae.org).
In the last 30 days, 134 of 619 Trump posts focused on the topic of elections, underscoring the volume of attention the president has devoted to shaping Republican races nationwide ahead of the 2026 midterm cycle.
