Donald Trump called on Louisiana voters to oust the state’s Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards, in a Saturday runoff election that will be the latest test of the president’s popularity with Southern voters.
At a rally Thursday night in Bossier City, just outside Shreveport, Trump made his third appearance to bolster Edwards’ Republican opponent, Eddie Rispone, a Baton Rouge businessman. “I really need you -- but you really need you -- to send a message to the corrupt Democrats in Washington,” Trump said.
