BATON ROUGE, La. – Louisiana voters chose Saturday to send Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy to the U.S. Senate, filling the nation's last Senate seat and giving the GOP a 52-48 edge in the chamber when the new term begins in January.
Kennedy had always been the runoff election's front-runner in a state that overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump. He defeated Democrat Foster Campbell, a state utility regulator whose chances were seen as such a long-shot that national Democratic organizations offered little assistance to Campbell's campaign.
As he celebrated the victory, Kennedy said he represented change in Washington.
"I believe that our future can be better than our present, but not if we keep going in the direction the Washington insiders have taken us the last eight years," he said. "That's about to change, folks."
Voters also filled two open U.S. House seats Saturday, choosing Republican Clay Higgins, a former sheriff's captain known as the "Cajun John Wayne," in the 3rd District representing southwest and south central Louisiana and Republican state Rep. Mike Johnson in the 4th District covering northwest Louisiana.

64% to 36% that’s a lot of Russian hacking or we Louisianians know that democrats are communists. It’s the latter.
The media is hiding that margin

Could the Russians want 20% of the world gumbo market to go with the uranium? It sounds very sinister.
-—How-—?
A Russian consulate in New Orleans established a dock in Bayou Duprie Boudreaux parish from which hundreds of bateaus were launched with jambalaya and crawfish pie for the masses.This swamp water effort effectively cancelled the walking around money efforts of the Clinton campaign in the churches of New Orleans and Baton Rouge that were previously sources of reliable voters.
The Russian Cajun connection dates back to the original debacle when the Brits cast out the Acadians from Canada. Russian vessels were hired to move the population to French held Louisiana, a historical fact still reverberating in the cajun community.
The Ghost of Huey Long singing “You Are My Sunshine” Was faintly heard but no one paid any attention while scarfing up the Russian provided feast. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, former Democrat Governor was contacted but failed to comment
“Female interns will be safe with this Senator Kennedy” who until recently was a Democrat ...
By more than a 20 percent margin
I guess I'm confused on this. Does this mean that the Republican count in the "House" changes from 247 to 249 now?
No. The previous office holders were Republican.
Thanks
No. The previous office holders were Republican.
Vladimir Putin was John Kennedy’s campaign manager.

LOL! Another big Dem loss yet they remain obsessed with WHAT they have lost instead of WHY they are really losing.
Isn’t it strange the journalist didn’t bother to report the margin of victory for the vote?

An inconvenient fact.

No, he won a seat in the U.S. Senate, not the House.

I was looking for that too. Strange they feel it is okay to leave that information out.
And they wonder why nobody trusts them.
