A tightly contested gubernatorial election run-off in Louisiana on Saturday will test Donald Trumps sway among conservative voters in the deep south as Democrat John Bel Edwards fights for a second term against Republican challenger Eddie Rispone.
The election drew the president to northern Louisiana on Thursday evening for a campaign rally in Bossier City during which he urged Republican voters to turn up at the polls on Saturday.
This Saturday, the eyes of history are looking down on the great people of Louisiana, Trump said, after spending much of his speech criticizing ongoing impeachment hearings in Washington. Its a close one. You gotta vote on Saturday. Youre gonna have a great Republican governor.
Early Saturday, Trump tweeted support for Rispone saying he would bring down taxes and auto insurance.
