Louisiana · U.S. House
Louisiana 6th District
Runoff: Banks vs. Miguez. No candidate won the seat outright, so these two advance.
Our forecast: Republicans, 96% chance of winning. This isn't a race call.
In 2026, ballots counted after a place's first report ran about 11 points more Republican than that report, in the same places. An early Democratic lead here can shrink.
