I wrote yesterday about the primary election for governor (and other offices) in Louisana. Final results show that governor Edwards got just 46% of the vote. It was well short of the 50% he needed to be re-elected. That's important since polls prior to the voting had shown Democrat Edwards was likely to beat the 50%. Those polls, of course, all came prior to President Trump's rally in Louisiana for the GOP on the night prior to the voting.
There's no way to prove for certain that Trump swung this election, but it certainly looks that way. Now, in November, there will be a race between a Democrat and a single Republican candidate (there were 3 yesterday). The likely result is still a close election, but the odds right now have to be about even as to who will win.
Once again, Trump demonstrates the force of his followers.
