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