David Vitter Loses Louisiana Governor Race

On Oct 14, 2022

David Vitter was running for governor of Louisiana but he’s had some problems with prostitution scandals. The family values schtick wasn’t working, so he attempted an anti-Syrian refugee TV ad. It didn’t work. Down goes Vitter. Cenk Uygur, hosts of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“State Rep. John Bel Edwards, a relatively unknown Democrat from a rural Amite, will be the state’s next governor after toppling Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., in one of the biggest political upsets in the state’s history.

No state in the Deep South has had a Democratic governor since Kathleen Blanco left office eight years ago. A Democrat hasn’t even come within spitting distance of statewide office in Louisiana since 2008, when former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu won reelection.

That all changed Saturday (Nov. 21) as Edwards came out of nowhere to take down a Republican candidate once seen as unbeatable in a solidly Red State. Preliminary election results show Edwards topped Vitter by 12 points, a resounding victory.”*
