It’s Republican-versus-Democrat in the two U.S. House runoffs in Louisiana. In District Five, Democrat Pat Moore will face Republican Gabe Firment. Firment trailed Moore by a single percentage point, and while he’s favored to win the runoff, he says he’s taking nothing for granted.
Cut 11 (07) “…we haven’t visited.”
Democrat Jamie Davis’ strong showing in the U.S. Senate race could give his party momentum heading into next year’s state elections. Republicans currently hold every statewide elected office and have supermajorities in both the Louisiana House and Senate. But Political analyst Bernie Pinsonat says Tuesday’s results show some voters who supported President Trump in 2024 were willing to cross party lines and vote for Davis.
