President Trump is going to Louisiana on Wednesday to rally his supporters to vote out the only Democrat holding a statewide office there. The race pits John Bel Edwards, the only Democratic governor in the South, against businessman Eddie Rispone.
Edwards initially held a slight advantage, but the outcome has become a tossup since Edwards fell shy of the 50% he needed to avoid the November runoff.

More From CBS:
"Louisiana, get out and Vote Early for @EddieRispone as your next Governor. Lower Taxes and car insurance. Will protect your 2nd Amendment. John Bel Edwards is always fighting our MAGA Agenda. Wants to raise your taxes and car insurance to the sky. Vote for Republican Eddie R!," he tweeted on Monday.Rispone, a millionaire construction magnate and prominent GOP donor making his first bid for public office, often paints himself as a Trump-like outsider who wouldn't be a "politically correct" governor. He contrasts his image with Edwards by frequently associating him with the establishment and pointing out that he was a superdelegate for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Edwards, however, is socially conservative on some key issues, including abortion. He was part of a wave of governors this year who signed a bill to ban abortions after six weeks. Louisiana — which could become the first state without legal abortion access, depending on the outcome of a Supreme Court case — has the highest percentage of people who believe all forms of abortion should be illegal.
Trump won the state of Louisiana in 2016 with 58% of the vote.
Only five governors in Louisiana's history have won a second term.

He got a chuckle out of that 9 pounds.
He looks like a RAGIN CAJUN.
Yep. If this nation shall perish from this earth it won’t because of President Trump. I’m looking forward to the coast-to-coast 5 rallies a day during the general election. No way Pocahontas can keep up with that.
Sorry fellas we’re going to keep on winning! Ladies and gentlemen of Louisiana the best is yet to come!
Those guys in blue uniforms look like employees that were added for some background “color.”
Thanks for the thread
Strong , silent type ? Nodded his head in approval when Trump thanked God .
Well that was fun!
Oh sheesh....To even think Warren might be carrying the news cycles is enough to turn it off. She’s as hard to hear as Witch Hillary. They’re a couple examples of what women should never be like!
That was soo funny!
Agree!
LOL ROFL
I agree. I have never seen such unenthusiastic people behind POTUS at one of these rallies. Is it hot there?
That’s what I was thinking.
Well said.
