Governor Jeff Landry (R-LA) will fly a Make America Great Again (MAGA) flag at the Louisiana Governor’s Mansion on January 20 in celebration of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. Landry announced his decision on social media Friday, urging others to join him in this demonstration of support.

“BREAKING: Governor Landry to fly Make America Great Again flag at Louisiana Governor’s Mansion on Jan. 20 in honor of the Inauguration of President Donald J. Trump,” Landry posted. He encouraged Louisiana residents to participate by raising their own MAGA flags.

Landry’s move highlights the strong Republican support for Trump throughout Louisiana. His decision to publicly honor Trump’s inauguration shows a clear message of solidarity with the former president’s policies and leadership.

Elon Musk was right about what MAGA represents. This is nothing more than a Confederate Flag.
Jeff can keep playing these games and he will invoke this well-deserved, statewide strike–sooner than later.
MAGA DOES NOT CARRY THIS STATE.
This state does not move without "Black Job"… https://t.co/cYJWuoiSSw

The announcement came shortly after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed plans to fly American flags at full staff at the U.S. Capitol during the inauguration. This decision goes against President Joe Biden’s order to lower the flags in memory of former President Jimmy Carter, with Johnson stating the flags would be lowered the next day.

“On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump,” Johnson posted. He confirmed that the Capitol would resume honoring Carter on January 21.

Love it!!
LFG Louisiana!! 🎉🇺🇸💯
