In a surprising result, the Democratic Incumbent Governor of Louisiana, John Bel Edwards was unable to garner 50% of the popular vote in an all-party primary which will force an unexpected runoff for the Governor’s seat.

The runoff will be with Republican Louisiana businessman Eddie Rispone who has a real chance to win the office. Rispone got a huge boost to propel him to the runoff by attaching himself to President Trump and promising to “make Louisiana great again!”

The President celebrated these results on social media on Sunday praising Rispone and condemning Bel Edwards. He said that Bel Edwards has done a “poor job” and that Rispone is a “GREAT REPUBLICAN”.

President Trump also noted that the mainstream media has not been covering the “big Republican victory last night”. Much like the 2016 Presidential election, the media had very much expected Bel Edwards to win and do not seem all that interested in covering what a shock it was when Rispone forced the runoff.
