Louisiana Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards Wins Re-election
---------------------------------------------------------------

Louisiana Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards has narrowly won
re-election, beating out his Republican challenger, Eddie Rispone.
Rispone was backed by President Trump, who held two rallies in Louisiana
this month to support him. But high turnout by African-American voters
in Louisiana, particularly in New Orleans, propelled John Bel Edwards to
re-election.
