Donald Trump wins Louisiana in presidential election

Summary

Former President Donald Trump has won the state of Louisiana in the 2024 presidential election, marking his third consecutive victory in the state. Trump secured approximately 58% of the vote, reinforcing his stronghold in a region where the Republican Party has dominated for decades.

Louisiana’s political landscape has consistently favored Republican candidates, with Trump capitalizing on this trend. His victory was supported by a significant base of political allies within the state, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Governor Jeff Landry. Trump’s success in Louisiana aligns with the broader Republican strategy of maintaining control in traditionally conservative states, where they have not lost a presidential election since 1996. This win adds crucial electoral votes to Trump’s tally as he competes against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in a highly contentious election cycle.
