They better get their shite together. Everyone is tired of the limp-wristed, lip service the GOP has been giving the last few years when the citizens needed them to fight.
If that’s the case, then only Landry fits the bill, and he has allegations of corruption...
Nonetheless, I will vote for one of the jellyfish if that is all that is available.
It is a damn sad reflection on what passes for conservatives these days.

Either way, it is not good for Landry. It makes Landry look like the GOPe candidate.
If Kennedy runs for Governor, then Landry runs to fill his Senate seat. Win/Win for Landry

That's now how it works. If Kennedy runs for Governor and wins then he gets to appoint someone who will serve the remaining 5 years on his term. And whoever Kennedy appoints, it won't be Jeff Landry.

That’s now how it works either. At least not in Louisiana.

I would not be so sure. If Kennedy wins the Governorship he will effectively hold both positions.

Schroeder would easily be the best for the position. Dudes not a politician.

If Kennedy runs for governor, I'm fully behind Landry.

Funny how the establishment works. They will pull a sitting senator to make sure a state is not actually represented by its people. Got to keep everyone on the plantation.
This is exactly what they did to Kari Lake.

Yeah that's EXACTLY how it works.

RS 18 §1278. Vacancies; United States senator
A. The governor may fill any vacancy in the office of United States senator by appointment. If the United States Senate is in session when the vacancy occurs, the governor shall appoint a senator to fill the vacancy within ten days after receiving official notice of the vacancy.
B. If a vacancy occurs in the office of United States senator and the unexpired term is more than one year, an appointment to fill the vacancy shall be temporary. Any senator so appointed shall serve until his successor is elected at a special election and takes office. Within ten days after receiving official notice of the vacancy, the governor shall issue a proclamation for special election to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term. The date of the special election shall be established by the governor in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 18:402(E). The dates of the qualifying period shall be established by the governor in accordance with R.S. 18:467, 467.1, and 468. Immediately after issuance of the proclamation, which shall include the dates of the primary and general elections and the dates of the qualifying period, the governor shall publish the proclamation in the official journal of each parish in which the election is to be held. Within twenty-four hours after its issuance, the governor shall send a copy of the proclamation to the secretary of state. Within twenty-four hours after he receives the copy, the secretary of state shall notify all election officials having any duty to perform in connection with a special election to fill such vacancy, including the parish boards of election supervisors for the parish or parishes in which the vacancy occurred. The election shall be conducted and the returns shall be certified as in regular elections for United States senator.
C. If a vacancy occurs in the office of United States senator and the unexpired term is one year or less, no special election shall be called by the governor and, if a senator is appointed to fill the vacancy, he shall serve for the remainder of the unexpired term, and his successor shall be elected at the next regular election for United States senator.
If elected, Kennedy would be the Governor-Elect, and while Edwards would not appoint Landry, whoever is appointed will not serve out the remainder of the term. They will serve only until the special election.

Turns out you’re right (and I was wrong). If Landry loses to Kennedy in Gov race he starts Senate race with saturation level name recognition and a base of voters.

Who is the "they" in that sentence? Landry got the Republican party establishment to endorse him before any other candidates even announced.
The only person "pulling in a sitting senator" is the sitting senator. There is no mythical "establishment" pulling candidates in or keeping them out. To the extent there is an establishment, that would be the Republican Party organization and they endorsed Landry (though, they are toothless).

Schroder is my top personal choice. However, I do see the wisdom on his part in stepping aside if Kennedy runs and backing him instead. Both those Johns have worked together in the past (Schroder as State Rep and Kennedy as Treasurer) in trying to promote and enact some sort of fiscal prioritization and reform in Louisiana state government.
During that same time, Landry’s claim to fame was holding a sign during Obama’s SOTU address.

You know, I never thought about it until you just said this.
For the past three years, this board has run down the LA GOP State Exec Committee as being a bunch of worthless and spineless RINOs unwilling to be real conservatives to challenge JBE and the LA Democrats. Labeling them establishment.
That same crew has endorsed Jeff Landry WAY out in front before others have even officially declared.
Hrm….
