GOP Flips Louisiana Governorship
|
 [PJMedia] In an echo of the 2016 election, Democrats have been blindsided by a stunning Republican victory in a race for chief executive. Louisiana’s "jungle primary" for the governor’s seat wrapped up on Saturday, and the state’s attorney general, Jeff Landry, won a flat-out majority (52%), eliminating the need for a run-off between the top two vote-getters in November. His victory returns leadership of the Bayou State to the Republicans.
Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards has held the office for eight years but had to step down due to term limits. The top Democrat in Saturday’s race, former state transportation secretary Shawn Wilson, was only able to pull 26% of the vote despite having consolidated Democrat support in the race.
"Republican Jeff Landry claims back Louisiana governor’s office in stunning GOP victory" reads USA Today’s headline. "Jeff Landry, a Hard-Line Republican, Is Elected Governor of Louisiana," laments The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
. And CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network , now who know what it might stand for...
calls Landry "a hard-line conservative."
There is a second reason why Landry’s win is a striking foreshadowing of what might happen in 2024: he was explicitly endorsed by front-running presidential candidate Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
. In a 15-second spot released by Landry’s campaign last spring, the candidate stands alongside Trump as the former president sings his praises:
Maybe old Orange Man Bad isn’t as radioactive as he used to be.
