"Republican Jeff Landry reclaims Louisiana governor's mansion for GOP in major election victory"

Republican Jeff Landry, backed by former President Donald Trump, has won the Louisiana governor's race, reclaiming the office for the GOP after eight years. Landry, the state's Attorney General, defeated a crowded field of candidates and will replace the only Democratic governor in the Deep South, John Bel Edwards. Landry's victory is seen as a major win for the Republican Party, and he has pledged to prioritize addressing crime in urban areas and champion conservative policy positions.
