Louisiana Senate 2026:Ray Nagin vs David Duke

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Would Ray Nagin even win the African-American vote now?

Does anyone in New Orleans currently like him?

If this is a runoff, I don't see why black voters wouldn't get solidly behind whoever the opponent to David Duke is.

I feel like black voters just wouldn't show up, quite honestly.

Some might not appear. But you don't think that they would vote in droves to stop David Duke of all people?

Not for Nagin, and probably not for Jefferson either (though more would show up for him, Jefferson's prosecution did have the air of being politically motivated, even if he was guilty as sin). But someone like LaToya Cantrell would probably get record black turnout in this scenario (and might even pick up 35-40% of the White vote).

Cantrell vs Duke would kind of feel like Jones vs Moore except it wouldn't be as much of a sheer surprise.
