If his opponents can closely tie him to that liberal party platform, and the progressive candidates that lead the Democratic Party, he will be in danger of losing the election
In 2016, President Donald Trump carried Louisiana with 58% of the vote. Every Louisiana statewide elected official, except one, is a Republican. The Louisiana Legislature has a strong Republican majority and the state's six-member congressional delegation has only one Democrat.
Clearly, Louisiana is a conservative, Republican state; but it is led by a Governor, John Bel Edwards, who is a Democrat. Edwards was elected in 2015 because of his opponent's personal and political baggage, which is why his victory has been called a fluke by many political observers.
