Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming advanced to the June 27 Republican runoff for the U.S. Senate seat after placing second in the May 16 primary behind Rep. Julia Letlow. He has continued active campaigning, including post-primary statements emphasizing outreach to additional voters and his independent position outside the Trump-endorsed lane. Earlier offers of administration roles, including a CDC deputy director position floated in March, were publicly declined, with Fleming framing such approaches as attempts to clear the field. These developments, combined with the absence of any withdrawal signals in the weeks since the primary, underpin trader consensus that Fleming will remain in the race through the runoff.
