"Louisiana's Governor's Race: A Crucial Test for Republicans and Democrats"
TL;DR
Republicans in Louisiana face their first test in their bid to win control of the governor's office, with a "jungle primary" likely to narrow the field to a head-to-head runoff next month. Louisiana has previously elected a Democratic governor, but with incumbent John Bel Edwards barred from running again, this race represents the GOP's best chance of flipping a gubernatorial seat this year. The Republican favorite is state Attorney General Jeff Landry, who has the support of the state Republican establishment and former President Donald Trump. Democrats have consolidated around former state Transportation Secretary Shawn Wilson.
