Donald Trump visited Louisiana three times recently trying to help a GOP candidate unseat a Democratic governor.  

It didn’t work. 

Just like in Kentucky, Donald Trump’s personal appearances in the state helped a Democrat win. From The New York Times:

“Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana, the only Democratic governor in the Deep South, narrowly won re-election Saturday, overcoming the intervention of President Trump, who visited the state multiple times in an effort to help Mr. Edward’s Republican challenger and demonstrate his own clout.”

Trump had visited Louisiana three times in five weeks to support Republican challenger Eddie Rispone in the runoff and still, Democrat John Bel Edwards won in a state that Trump carried in 2016 by nearly 20 percentage points. https://t.co/cFOxLSUbwO

Besides the losses in Louisiana and Kentucky, Democrats also recently won both houses of the Virginia legislature.  

If anyone still doubts southern suburbs are getting bluer, Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) just carried a set of NOLA suburbs where Obama got *26%* of the vote in 2008. https://t.co/nuaVMYnKAZ

Potus chose to make these two races, which don’t offer him anything on the 2020 map, into referendums on himself. https://t.co/Ik7CqBbOj6

From Politico:

“The losses raise questions about Trump’s standing as he heads into what will be a grueling 2020 campaign. By throwing himself into the three contests — each in states that Trump won by double-digits in 2016 — the president had hoped to gain a modicum of political momentum at a perilous moment of his presidency.”
