Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Republican candidate backed by former President Donald Trump, has won the Louisiana governor race, reclaiming the governor's mansion for the GOP. Landry's victory replaces the only Democratic governor in the Deep South, John Bel Edwards. The win is seen as a significant GOP victory in the South and sets the stage for the upcoming 2024 elections. Landry's success in the 14-way jungle primary makes him only the second governor-elect in Louisiana history to win outright in an opposed primary. Louisiana Republicans easily secured control of the governor's house, defying expectations of a tight race.
