Attorney General Jeff Landry, a rightwing Republican backed by Donald Trump, has won the Louisiana governor’s race, holding off a crowded field of candidates.
The win is a major victory for the Republican party as they reclaim the governor’s mansion for the first time in eight years. Landry will replace current governor John Bel Edwards, who was unable to seek re-election due to consecutive term limits.
Edwards is the only Democratic governor in the south.
From someone originally from Louisiana, this is so bad. He’s young enough to have learned all the tips & tricks from his older cohorts. He actively opposed & stalled/stopped a lot of the previous governor’s ideas. There is nothing good to say about him…he will suck up to the people on the Hill like Steve Scalise & Ted Cruz & try to ride their coattails higher. He is a true piece of shit.
