Bel Edwards is very conservative even more so than some GOP. He gets on well with Trump. He could switch parties like the gov in WVA did who was a Dem and switched to GOP.
John Bel Edwards is a conservative democrat, that’s why he won. He’s not “out there” like CA and other crazies.
Besides, it wasn’t like Trump even knew who the R candidate would be until a month ago. Incumbents have advantages.
Edwards won because he lies and says shes a prolife and pro 2d amendment. Most people in LA are and thats why it goes republican in National elections. I guess people in LA are to ignorant to google Edwards record. Hes never saw a tax he didnt love. LA is a lot like Kentucky. They elect lying democrats las governor but a republican as president.
Name recognition.
The reason he won is he took a two billion dollar deficit and worked to make it a two hundred million dollar surplus. Nothing at all like California. However, pretty sick of losing election after election.
Well, this is the same state that elected Kathleen Blanco.
