LA 2019 Gov Race: Gov John Bel Edwards wins a 2nd term

[Frodo]

So there is a general consensus that Governor John Bel Edwards will be re-elected -the great divide seems to be whether he will have to undergo a runoff to get there.

If Trump were to hold a rally in Louisiana next month, how much of an effect would that have on the governor's race (as well as various legislative races)?

Is there any rain in the forecast for next Saturday?

Between defeating JBE or getting a supermajority in the State House, which do you think will be easier for LA Republicans?  This has potentially important implications for redistricting, as a JBE veto of the 2021 maps could force 2 separate Dem leaning CDs in NOLA and Baton Rouge and keep Republicans structurally below a legislative supermajority through the 2020's.  After seeing the 2 suburban Trump districts flip in MS and a couple of the rural seats hold, I think JBE will be able to get his vetoes sustained in any scenario where he wins reelection.

There is always the possibility of enough Democratic defections to effectively secure a Republican supermajority in the House even when they didn't win one outright on November 16.

I mentioned earlier that Jim Hood was the last of his kind after he lost the Mississippi's governor's race as a centrist white southern Democrat with statewide appeal.  If Governor John Bel Edwards were to lose his bid for re-election, do Louisiana Democrats have anyone else who could run in 2023 or later?  Perhaps former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu?  Or is their bench just as bare as their counterparts in Mississippi?

There is no weather-related reason for voters not to be going to their polling stations today:

A cool and sunny mid-November day for both New Orleans and Baton Rouge -and presumably for the rest of the state.

Let's suppose Gov. Edwards has a relatively successful second term -does anyone here think he should run against Sen. John Kennedy in the 2022 midterms (assuming Republicans keep the White House next year) given Louisiana has gubernatorial term limits?
