A Democratic governor in the deep South is on the verge of reelection

Polling and other factors suggest that, despite Louisiana's Republican lean, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has a decent shot of being reelected | Analysis

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.Edwards won office back in 2015 on somewhat of a fluke. Polling showed him only clearly beating one Republican in a runoff, scandal-ridden David Vitter, and Vitter was the Republican who managed to secure a runoff spot alongside Edwards. Edwards was helped by then-Republican Gov.
