'Stunning Victory': Dems Blindsided as GOP Flips Louisiana Governorship

Athena Thorne : Oct 16, 2023  PJ Media

The top Democrat in Saturday's race, former state transportation secretary Shawn Wilson, was only able to pull 26% of the vote despite having consolidated Democrat support in the race.

[PJMedia.com] In an echo of the 2016 election, Democrats have been blindsided by a stunning Republican victory in a race for chief executive. Louisiana's "jungle primary" for the governor's seat wrapped up on Saturday, and the state's attorney general, Jeff Landry, won a flat-out majority (52%), eliminating the need for a run-off between the top two vote-getters in November. His victory returns leadership of the Bayou State to the Republicans. (Screengrab image)

Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards has held the office for eight years but had to step down due to term limits. The top Democrat in Saturday's race, former state transportation secretary Shawn Wilson, was only able to pull 26% of the vote despite having consolidated Democrat support in the race.

"Republican Jeff Landry claims back Louisiana governor's office in stunning GOP victory" reads USA Today's headline. "Jeff Landry, a Hard-Line Republican, Is Elected Governor of Louisiana," laments The New York Times. And CNN calls Landry "a hard-line conservative."

Ordinarily, Republican victories would not be surprising in a country where Democrats have been such obvious and painful failures. Between the alien invasion, horrifying foreign policy catastrophes, impoverishing inflation, out-of-control crime, and intensely disliked, openly corrupt Democrat officeholders, the GOP should be skating to easy victories wherever they choose to run.

But there is no denying that the abortion issue has led to disappointing Republican losses since the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision last year. From the disappointing Red Trickle in November 2022 to conservative Ohio's special election in August that set the stage for a pro-abortion constitutional amendment, the issue has manifestly rallied left-wing voters.

Over a year has passed since Dobbs, however, and the nation is settling into the new normal in which states pass their own laws according to what their voters choose. Democrats profess to love "our sacred democracy," so they have a hard time arguing against it when people democratically vote to protect the unborn in their own locales. But then again, logical consistency has never been Democrats' strong point.

Meanwhile, Democrats have been such utter failures at governing that abortion may no longer be a powerful enough talisman to save them. Households have lost somewhere in the neighborhood of one-fifth of their spending power under Biden's disastrous rule. Criminals control the streets and drive businesses away, leaving already struggling residents with nowhere to buy food or medicine... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
