Democrats Lose Governor Race In First Major Contest Ahead of 2024
It’s a
bad day to be a Democrat.
Democrat
contenders Shawn Wilson and John Bel Edwards failed to keep the governorship in Louisiana, ultimately losing to Republican Jeff Laundry.
Laundry, who served as Louisiana Attorney General, won 50% of the vote threshold to avoid a runoff vote.
Political commentators say this is a sign of things to come in 2024.
Many major U.S. states and cities have been destroyed by embracing Democrat policies, such as sanctuary city status and reduced funding for law enforcement. This has resulted in skyrocketing crime, homelessness, and drug use.
Ultimately, many businesses are terminating jobs and fleeing blue states in favor of Republican-controlled communities.

The GOP is undoubtedly gaining significant momentum going into this year’s remaining races and the presidential election next year.
Landry is known as an advocate for the Oil and Natural Gas industry. He criticized Democrats like former President Obama by saying, “Republicans continue to criticize the president for being anti-oil. He says that’s not true, but his actions don’t match his rhetoric.”
Landry made national headlines by holding up a sign saying “Drilling=jobs” during Obama’s national jobs plan speech in September 2011.
