In the politically polarized environment of today, 2019 will be an interesting case study. In Kentucky an unpopular GOP incumbent is running for reelection, while in Mississippi the popular Democrat AG is running for governor, and in Louisiana a popular democrat is running for reelection.

I think Edwards has a pretty good shot. I'm from Louisiana and I hardly ever hear anything negative about him. Including from Republican family members, and some of them are considering voting for him.

It is Louisiana John Bel Edwards is almost certainly the most progressive candidate running.
Comparitlvley, though I'm still holding out for a more ideologically Progressive/Leftist candidate (that won't win) to endorse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok it appears he is actually a Republican again. He was a Republican prior to 2007 then an Independent until 2010 and again a Republican since 2017. He considered running in the 2015 election as a Democrat, but I have found nothing online referencing a 2019 run thus far.

E Pluribus Unum: This is why I swipe Left on Edwards
Who makes you swipe right
The Bernie Sanders Style Progressives/Social Democrats/Populist Leftists (Ro Khanna, AOC, Richard Ojeda).
Their top platform planks usually consist of: Medicare-For-All, Fighting Climate Change, Legalizing Weed, Ending The Wars, and Campaign Finance Reform.

While it's not ideal that Edwards signed that bill at least he is pro-Medicaid in a state that greatly needs it.
Every Blue Dog throws a bone to the Left Once in a while. Its not enough for me to look over their flaws

It’s Louisiana. You have to apply a sliding scale to some political label depending on where you are.
Lets call a spade a spade. Edwards=Conservative=No endorsement from me

Why is Jindal mentioned as a candidate ?
Was once mentioned in a “credible” source as a potential candidate. Usually we provide the link.
This article came up when I googled Bobby Jindal 2019 https://louisianavoice.com/2017/02/03/comeback-for-jindal-in-2019-he-kept-america-next-think-tank-is-grabbing-for-trump-coattails-so-dont-be-surprised/

So far, mail ballots don't look too good for the Dems but this may be republicans voting for John Bel Edwards. Also according to Couvillon, the African American turnout in mail ballots is down 4% from 29% in 2015 to 25% this year.

Was hoping JBE could avoid a runoff, but that was always a pipe dream. I wouldn't say his vote share was *too* disappointing, as he did about as well as the polls said he would, but I was hoping for at least 48%. He still has a chance, but I'm bracing myself for a Rispone win here. I don't agree with Edwards on abortion, but I still like seeing a Democratic statewide official elected in the South.
