Result note: Kentucky and Mississippi margins compare the leading candidates in the 2023 general election. Louisiana's 2023 election was an all-candidate primary: the displayed R+25.7 is Landry's 51.6% compared with Wilson's 25.9%, not a conventional two-party general-election margin. Candidate lists and status should be updated as filing deadlines approach.
