Well if this is Silver Age Lex then I don't think this is going to be much of an issue. As funny and genius as that Lex was with his crazy mad science inventions, he wasn't exactly very subtle.
I think that's the Lex referred to anyway.

I've yet to see a character that is actually as smart as L, I've seen characters where story claims they're smart, but in in reality they just have plot armor, L takes this 10/10.

If Luthor can get himself of all people elected president, L really can't do anything. Hell, he'll probably spin it so that people think stealing forty cakes was a humanitarian effort.

The only reason L lost to Kira is because he was dealing with unknown supernatural stuff. If that's not the case this time, he probably takes this 7/10.

If that's what made him lose, he has no chance vs Luthor. The tech levels in DC make Death Note look like hard sci-fi.

L's greatest asset here is his anonymity. If he can keep that up, he should be fine. I don't see L faring well against power armor.

Lex Luthor would get away with it. Who the hell is going to prosecute a multi billionaire politician CEO?
Even if L is hell bent on making a political suicide Luthor has tech that is leaps and bounds better than potato chip eating Light supernatural powers. L is smart. But Luthor would have finished the cakes in his office by the time L began his investigation.
