House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, the Republican incumbent since 2008, anchors trader consensus at 92.5% for a GOP hold in Louisiana's 1st Congressional District, an R+19 seat per Cook Partisan Voter Index that delivered 68% for Republicans in the 2024 presidential race. Scalise's dominant fundraising—$5.5 million cash on hand as of late 2025—dwarfs challengers like GOP primary foe Randall Arrington and Democratic contenders Lauren Jewett and Jim Long, with no polls or developments in the past 30 days altering this edge. The May 16 partisan primaries and potential June 27 runoffs loom, but historical dominance suggests continuity. Upsets would require a Scalise primary defeat, personal scandal, health issue, or seismic national midterm shift favoring Democrats.
