LA Gov-JBE is closing in on 57%

[One Term Floridian]

Great news!

You’re backing a democrat ?!

That was my thought as well.

JBE is a Republican with a D after his name. This guy signed a complete and total ban on abortion after all.

Yeah and about as generic of a Democrat in just about every other issue. So I wouldn’t call him a DINO lol

He loves the prisons (and private healthcare iirc?). Very generic Dixiecrat.

He did the whole prison reform thing

The state has seen a 20 percent decrease in the number of people imprisoned for nonviolent crimes and a 42 percent decrease in those sent to prison for drug possession.  Actually fell behind OK for highest incarceration rate.   Also got rid of Louisiana being the only state that could convict without a unanimous jury (via Constitutional amendment).

Probably will make him a little more unpopular in rural areas since that's where all the prison are.

I could see JBE lose a little ground in rural areas (which are pretty racially divided anyway) and run better in Jefferson and St. Tammany.

JBE almost certain to lose ground in rural areas, but likely to gain ground in the suburbs. Just how things are trending nowadays for Dems almost everywhere in the country. He should do particularly fantastic in the NOLA suburbs that actually swung to Hillary in 2016
