🚨NEW STORY🚨 Farmer Jamie Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Julia Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for. "This is not going to be a slam dunk," a pollster warns. thelensnola.org/2026/10/23/j...

🚨🚨🚨 Just got info from the Jamie Davis (Louisiana US Dem candidate) campaign that a poll taken from 9/17 to 9/19 shows he's within 4 points of US Rep. Julia Letlow (the R senate candidate) in the Louisiana US senate race. Of note, Letlow's name recognition is double that of Davis. (82% vs. 41%)

The main negative response I've seen towards the excitement over this Louisiana US Senate race is "He WonT WIn AnYwAY!" I find it annoying because voters in this state haven't had much to be excited about in years, and change starts with people believing that change is possible in the first place!!

Per info received from the Davis campaign, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (a contender for the 2028 presidential race) will be rallying alongside Davis today in NOLA.

All I know is Pete visited & delivered for every state as secretary, and since leaving the cabinet, he’s visited almost 40 states, endorsed over 100 candidates, campaigned with over half of them, has been welcome in every part of the country, & especially by candidates in red and purple places. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’ve noticed this routine trap of reporters interviewing voters at campaign events. No regular person goes to those events. Better off getting interviews outside a local Ross.

I'm embarrassed to admit I only just heard about the LA race tonight on the Bulwark's Tim & Woke Bill Kristol Show. This sounds really inspiring.

I don't know, man. I think he can win. Turnout has been impressive. He may not, but it'll be close.

She’s got tv ads but only one or two. They did send an anti-davis text message which seems to show they’re worried about how close it is

Louisiana being in play but Maine being a toss-up is such a weird mindfuck.

There's a real chance we could see Black senators elected in both Louisiana and Mississippi next week. I'm blowing money on ActBlue donations as if it were a bookstore. There's still time for us to make a difference for these campaigns.

Putting up a good fight, trying to win, and losing is STILL more valuable than never really trying. It builds infrastructure, voter habits, local talent. TX is on the verge in large part bc of ppl activated (and maintained) by Beto. GA went purple bc Stacey Abrams worked hard (still does) and lost.

In 23 the La Dem party was more interested in running against Mandie Landry than Jeff Landry. The new group is far from perfect, but they're head and shoulders better than the 2023 grifters.

LOUISIANA Senate: LA-SEN: Safe R -> Likely R I cannot believe I just did that but the turnout is nothing short of astonishing and a 4 point deficit in internal polling with undecideds to spare is not impossible. GOP turnout is just that bad this year as Black voter turnout is just that good.

I also think Letlow is running a bad campaign based around inevitability and a lack of interaction with voters. given her ethics problems and the whole data center thing, that's not a great idea it seems to me, and Davis is exploiting that weakness

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Here's your lunch break read; it's pretty short!

I still have an extremely short Mary Kathrine Ann Gallager Catholic school girl costume (from the SNL skit). I remember wearing cotton undies and doing cartwheels in the club parking lot in it. It's a family heirloom now.
