Edwards Wins Re-Election In Louisiana

Louisiana’s John Bel Edwards (D) stuns the GOP and wins reelection to a second term as the Deep South’s only Democratic governor, the AP reports.

Baton Rouge Advocate: “Rarely have presidents been so involved in a state-level race. Trump visited Louisiana three times to rally Republican and rural voters to head to the polls and ‘fire’ Edwards, calling him ‘a radical.’ Trump told Louisiana voters they could send a message to national Democrats that they stood behind him by voting for Rispone.”
