I was born and raised in Louisiana. Even now, I only live 45 minutes from New Orleans. This is surprising and may be a bad omen for Biden.
Shocker in Louisiana as Republican Jeff Landry Smokes Democrat to Flip Governor’s Mansion Without Runoff
Republican Jeff Landry won a landslide election on Saturday to flip the Louisiana governor’s mansion red in one of three main gubernatorial elections this year, shocking political observers with a victory that saves him the trouble of having to face a Democrat in a November runoff.
Landry defeated Democrat Shawn Wilson and the rest of the field in Louisiana’s gubernatorial election, winning about 52 percent of the vote. In Louisiana, governor elections are first open to a full field of all candidates from either party in what is known as a jungle primary—and then the two top vote-getters generally advance to a runoff a month later. But if a candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, as Landry did here, they can win outright on jungle primary day.
Many were expecting Landry, the clear and convincing frontrunner who has been the Attorney General of Louisiana for many years after a stint in Congress, to easily advance to the runoff and face Wilson in November. But his overwhelmingly strong performance on Saturday put him above majority support as the Associated Press called the race with him easily north of the 50 percent mark, meaning Landry will be the next governor of Louisiana.
Landry will replace outgoing Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat who is close with Democrat President Joe Biden, next year. His convincing victory in a deep south state represents one such gubernatorial flip this year out of two opportunities for Republicans to do so. The other major governor election happening in 2023 in which the GOP can take a state from the Democrats is in Kentucky, where GOP Attorney General Daniel Cameron faces incumbent Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear. In Mississippi, Republican Gov. Tate Reeves is also running for reelection, hoping to fend off a Democrat challenger.
Landry, in a post to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after his victory, thanked the voters of Louisiana and said he is ready to get to work:
Landry’s win is also a clear win for former President Donald Trump, who endorsed Landry and was actively encouraging his supporters in Louisiana to vote for him in the governor’s race.

Looks like trumpy may be at least partially responsible for Hamas attack on Israel.
"Hamas apparently knew how to get around Israel's Iron Dome defenses. They probably learned this from Iran. Iran almost certainly got the information from Russia. And who gave it to Russia? Sure looks like it was Donald Trump, at the request of Putin."
