John Fleming advanced to the June 27, 2026, Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate in Louisiana after finishing second in the May 16 primary with 28 percent of the vote behind Rep. Julia Letlow. He continues active campaigning, maintains a Senate bid website, and has publicly criticized opponents including Gov. Jeff Landry over campaign funding. Earlier allegations of a CDC job offer to exit the race, made in March, produced no withdrawal. With the runoff less than five weeks away and no official statements or procedural moves indicating departure, trader consensus assigns low probability to dropout before resolution.
