New Orleans is an incredible place full of incredible people. Try directing your justified anger at the villains.
The guy is a senator. He was voted in by his state.
If they don't want to be represented by him, they should have voted him out in 2022.
New Orleans doesn't have the voting power to do that. Orleans Parish was literally the only parish that went blue in that election.
New Orleans did vote against him. It was the only parish in the state to do so
One city cannot vote out a senator an entire state voted in.

Several mayors, including the current mayor, have been black too.
Do you think people voting black Democrats into the mayor's office want John Kennedy representing them?
Edit: The entire city council are also Democrats.

New Orleans is the only parish in the entire state where he didn't win the vote, with only 16.2% voting for him.
My guess is him being a Republican he only "won" due to voter suppression and gerrymandering. I would be shocked if he even had the popular vote.
He's a senator, so prepared to be shocked.
You do know that the city and county (parish) is New Orleans are the same thing? It’s actually a very small area and not a dense city. You really know nothing able the area.
