The Midterm Election will decide what political party will control the United States Congress. Republicans are fighting to hold on to a slim majority in the U.S. Senate. Kennedy who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump hopes he can hold on to his seat and is seeking a second term. While Democrats want to make him a one-term Senator and flip his seat by electing Luke Mixon, endorsed by Gov. John Bel Edwards.
Kennedy and Mixon are the two most likely candidates to win on November 8. However, they are not the only ones running for the U.S. Senate. There are 11 other candidates running against John Kennedy and they are as follows:
