The Republican announced his candidacy on social media Wednesday afternoon

I don't know why anyone would downgrade from US Senator to Governor of Louisiana. Except Cassidy who realizes he will be ousted in his next senatorial primary by a Trumpanzee.

At this point, Clay Higgins is a shoe-in to beat Cassidy for his seat!

Cassidy is out...

Sen. Cassidy announces he will not run for Louisiana Governor

Sen. Kennedy announced earlier that he is considering a run for governor.

Kennedy flaked out again. God help us cuz that leaves Landry. Anyone have Billy's phone number?

Senator John Kennedy won't run for Louisiana governor

"At this juncture, I just think I can help my state and my country more in the Senate."

Landy is about as bad as it gets. He's a ridiculous partisan fool.

Nungesser is out. Well, it's been...Ok, I guess.

All the people being so pessimistic about the governor's race must not remember 1991.

Talk about two peas in a pod!

30 Years ago, the current JBE would have been a Republican! Today, he is labeled as a radical leftist by the Republicans, that is how far they have fallen. Sadly, I doubt there is another JBE out there to run against whomever the R's trot out for Governor.

I see family members calling JBE a radical leftist, and it never fails to blow my mind. Their perception of the political spectrum is completely divorced from reality.

Kennedy would actually have to govern as a governor. Why not just stay in the Senate, vote "Nay" on everything, and do media tours?

And go on Fox and talk like Foghorn Leghorn.

State Treasurer John Schroder says he's in. Whoever is the left of Landry will likely win with Democratic support since Landry has all of the Maga folks in his back pocket. The only thing that can ruin this if the rumor is true of Landry making a deal with Cleo Fields to run just because.

Unfortunately I read something the other day where some Democrat in the Edwards administration was thinking of running. Seems the La. Dems are so dumb they think they can replicate JBE's success. Sure fire way to guarantee Landry's election.

No idea who that would be unless Donelon is talking about flipping parties again. Either way he'd likely to lose.

I think it was Shawn Wilson of the DOTD. Basically someone who no one in the state has ever heard of or will do anything other than to siphon votes away from a moderate Republican.

I have long believed that Fields is a fraudulent candidate. What else has he done other than run for any public office?

 

[GrandAdmiral]

If there was a Republican I would consider supporting, this one would've been it. But alas...

Rep. Garret Graves says hes not running for Governor, reports

Graves made the announcement in an email to supporters.

And yet, the people of Louisiana will still elect him governor because he's beligerant and has an R behind his name. They will suffer the consequences for it.

I'll second the nomination of said Butterfinger and throw my full support behind it.

I dunno, I think a Reese’s cup would be a better choice. Or a bag of M&M’s as long as the green one was wearing thigh high boots.
