Governor Edwin Edwards of Louisiana is a Democrat.

A Republican representative will be replaced by a Democrat.

It seems you are mistaken.

It is not "Governor Edwin Edwards" it is Governor John Bel Edwards, his son.

Sorry about the error.

No, there’ll be a special election. Only Senators can be replaced under similar circumstances, not representatives.

I would not be surprised if we learn he was murdered on behalf of the Democrats.

That would violate the constitution. Someone here could read it

Congressional vacancies are filled by special election and not by appointing a replacement

No. Edwards is a Democrat but he only appoints vacancies to the Senate. House vacancies are filled by a special election. A Republican will win that election

Governors don’t replace Representatives. Need special election.

Former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards is back in the hospital this weekend for non-COVID-related issues, his family said in a statement Saturday.

According to The Advocate, Edwards is “undergoing a battery of tests this weekend at Ochsner LSU Health Medical Center in Shreveport,” and the former governor says he is feeling fine.

His wife, Trina Edwards, says her husband is back for a checkup at the Shreveport hospital, where he was tested two years ago for respiratory and heart issues. He develops pneumonia annually after undergoing heart bypass surgery 24 years ago. The former governor was hospitalized in November for pneumonia.

Edwards was tested for COVID-19 for the third time this month and again tested negative, the statement reads. He was flown from his home near Gonzales to Shreveport on a plane “supplied by Ruston trucking and energy magnate James Davison.”
