BREAKING: Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards wins reelection in Louisiana.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards won reelection Saturday, the second gubernatorial victory for Democrats in a red state this month.
A Rispone victory on Saturday would have redeemed Trump's promise from his first visit to Louisiana last month, when he told supporters that if they held Edwards shy of a majority of the vote in the Oct. 12 primary, Republicans would win the general election in November. Voters delivered on the first part: Edwards earned 47 percent of the vote, while Rispone edged GOP Rep. Ralph Abraham for second place, 27 percent to 24 percent, earning a head-to-head shot with the incumbent in the runoff.
The polls — which suggested Saturday's election would be a nail-biter — were mostly on the mark. A Mason-Dixonreleased earlier this week showed Edwards just 2 points in front of Rispone, well within the margin of error.
