A few months after Duncan’s victory in November 2025, the state found another way to knock him down. It moved to eliminate his office entirely, and disenfranchise the thousands of New Orleanians who had just voted him in. A largely obscure, down-ballot local election transformed into a metaphor for this era of competitive authoritarianism, where the desire for power at all costs seemingly snuffs out even the most exceptional and historic achievements. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jul/22/calvin-duncan-louisiana-maga-white-supremacy
