On November 6, 2018, Higgins will face a re-election challenge from fellow Republican Josh Guillory, a [[Lafayette]] lawyer who served in [[Operation Iraqi Freedom]]. Guillory carries the endorsement of President Trump's attorney, [[Rudy Giuliani]], the former [[mayor]] of [[New York City]]. Giuliani backs Guillory because Giuliani's paramour, Jennifer LeBlanc, left the employment of Representative Higgins, reportedly on good terms, but she opposes the congressman's reelection. Giuliani and LeBlanc will host a fund-raiser for Guillory. Trump, however, remains committed to Higgins, who has been highly supportive of the president's [[MAGA]] agenda. Higgins said that he is confident he can defeat Guillory or other opponents who may yet file for the race.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/politics/article_b320e976-74e5-11e8-9f51-f75c8096273c.html|title=Trump endorses Higgins after Giuliana backs opponent his girlfriend works for|publisher==''The Baton Rouge Advocate''|dateJune 20, 2018|accessdate=June 22, 2018}}</ref>
