AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Redistricting Shockwave: Louisiana’s GOP machine kept rolling—its Senate advanced a 5-1 congressional map that would erase one of the state’s two majority-Black Democratic seats, even as the Supreme Court’s Callais ruling reshaped the rules of the fight. Election Chaos, Louisiana Style: With U.S. House races suspended after the ruling, Gov. Jeff Landry signed Act 7 moving those contests to a Nov. 3 open primary; Saturday’s ballots still go forward, but House results are void. Courts Under Pressure in New Orleans: A separate fight is heating up in Orleans Parish as lawmakers consider cutting up to six judgeships, while the Louisiana Supreme Court temporarily keeps Chelsey Napoleon in charge amid the clerk-of-court consolidation dispute. U.S.-China and Iran Tensions: Trump wrapped up Beijing talks with Xi, touting possible Chinese purchases of U.S. oil and claiming Xi won’t provide military equipment to Iran—while China and Iran-linked shipping threats keep Strait of Hormuz reopening in the spotlight. Supreme Court, Abortion Pill: The Court preserved nationwide access to mifepristone by mail and via telehealth while litigation continues, drawing sharp dissent.
