How John Bel Edwards won the Louisiana Governor's race

"John Bel Edwards won with African American votes and African American turnout," political analyst Ron Faucheux said. "The 51% that Republicans got combined in the primary fell to 49% in the runoff, and that was largely due to increased African American turnout."
Edwards spent much of his time in the closing days of the race in predominantly-black areas, trying to bring more black voters to the polls. During the last week of the campaign, Mayor LaToya Cantrell stumped for the incumbent governor.
"This race really proved to be rural vs. urban, and Governor Edwards really performed so well in all of the urban areas," said pollster and analyst Greg Rigamer.
The strategy worked overwhelmingly. By the time final results came in Saturday night, Edwards had secured about 99% of the African American vote, according to WWL-TV's election analysis
By 9:45 p.m., WWL-TV called the election for Edwards because 93% of returns had come in, and the majority outstanding were from predominantly black districts, which had broken universally for the Democrat."
100 miles of a 2000 mile border in 3 years,congrats
You are aware of the possibility that minorities may treat Trump differently that the State election you cited?
Blacks voters were a big reason Dems won the House by 10 million votes in 2018,the most ever,and that was nationwide
More than the Democrats built?
There was no Presidential race in 2018. The Democrat matchups versus Trump look pretty far from impressive, even allowing a token Black running mate on the ticket. If the choice is between old and White versus old and White with a good economy for President, I say Trump takes it, perhaps decisively.

Its insane that you have no health insurance but voted for Trump and hope that he wins again in 2012.Its because of Obama and democrats that you can get medicare for free in democrat states and insurance with pre existing conditions in any state.Republicans tried to prevent that and Trump tried to take it away,yet you have no insurance and are voting for them![]()
Oh my, the butt-hurt is strong with this one.He is quite the bitch, he can act tough on twitter, but in real life these strongmen walk all over him and he just bows his head in subservience. Not his fault I don't think, his dad had a lot to do with it me thinks. He needs constant external praise to feel good about himself, says a lot about a person.
