In Louisiana, hard-line Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry has won the governor’s race, flipping the seat red after two terms under Democrat John Bel Edwards. Landry will rule alongside a GOP-controlled Legislature, which had been stymied by Governor Edwards, who vetoed over 300 bills during his time in office. Landry has defended anti-trans laws, censorship in schools, Louisiana’s abortion ban and racist voting maps.
