Steve Scalise does not appear to be openly promoting a specific Louisiana Senate candidate in the 2026 race; reporting from January said he was staying out of the contested GOP primary, though he had warm words for Rep..

One recent report instead shows Scalise backing Andy Barr in a different Senate race, saying to “back Andy Barr for U.S. Senate”.

What this means

  • For Louisiana 2026 , Scalise’s public posture appears to be non-endorsement so far.
  • For Kentucky 2026 , he has publicly promoted Andy Barr.

If you meant “who is Scalise promoting for senator in 2026?” the clearest documented answer is Andy Barr in Kentucky , not a Louisiana Senate candidate.
