ABC News is projecting that Donald Trump will win Louisiana's eight electoral votes. Louisianans headed to the polls on Nov. 5 to vote in the presidential race as well as several down-ballot contests. Polls closed in the state at 8 p.m. local time.
House Speaker Mike Johnson was declared the winner Tuesday night in his effort to keep Louisiana's 4th Congressional District solidly red, according to The Associated Press. The four-term congressman was first elected in 2016 but gained prominence as a leader in the GOP after he was elected by his fellow members of Congress last year to replace former GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California.
The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the Alabama ruling, prompting the creation of a new map with an additional district likely to elect a Black representative. The justices sent the Louisiana case back to federal court, signaling that revised maps should be ready for the 2024 elections.
The case, which will not affect this election cycle, involves a legal fight over how the state draws its voting maps and could determine the political power of Black voters there.
This year’s elections are proceeding under the challenged map, which could boost Democrats’ chances of retaking the closely-divided House of Representatives.
