AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Louisiana’s Primaries
The revamped system replaces the jungle primary for most offices as Bill Cassidy faces challengers and voters decide five constitutional amendments.
- On Saturday, Louisiana voters will participate in a revamped, separate-party primary deciding the political fate of Republican U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, who is targeted for defeat by President Donald Trump.
- State lawmakers adopted this new system in 2024 for certain offices, ending the previous jungle primary format, though they recently reinstated that format for U.S. House races on Thursday.
- As of Thursday, about 255,000 ballots had been cast, with about 44% from Democrats and about 41% from Republicans, out of about 3 million registered voters statewide.
- A defeat for Cassidy would demonstrate the strength of Trump's grip on the party, likely resulting in a Senate GOP caucus even more unified behind the president.
- The election timeline includes 42 days until the primary runoff if needed, 171 days until the 2026 midterm elections and rescheduled U.S. House jungle primaries, and 210 days until the general election runoff.
