Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, is facing off against opponents from both political parties in Saturday’s jungle gubernatorial primary, in which all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, run against each other. If Edwards can emerge with greater than 50% of the vote, he’ll win reelection outright. If he doesn’t, a runoff will be held in November between the two top vote getters.
Polling and other factors suggest that, despite Louisiana’s Republican lean, Edwards has a decent shot of being reelected. CONT.
