Louisiana governor prepares to suspend House primaries

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) told Republican House candidates Wednesday that he plans to suspend next month's primary elections so state lawmakers can pass a new congressional map first, according to two people with knowledge of the calls. The move follows a Supreme Court decision earlier in the day that found Louisiana had unlawfully discriminated by race when it created a second majority Black congressional district under legal pressure. The ruling positions Republicans to gain one or two seats in the midterms as they fight to hold their narrow majority in the House.
