“I see LA going to a runoff, and I am confused to why the combined votes would not be enough to beat Landrieu in the end?”
It will go to a runoff, but she has zero chance of winning that. In LA Nov 4th is like a primary with all the candidates in at once. She won’t break 40% in the runoff.
I see many predictions saying Landrieu will win the run off, which has me puzzled.
