President Trump traveled to Louisiana in a last-minute push to rally his base and prevent Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards from winning re-election.
WASHINGTON — Presidenttraveled to Louisiana on Friday night in a last-minute push to rally his base and prevent Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards from winning re-election.
Trump didn't endorse either of the two Republicans challenging Edwards and the president urged his supporters to vote for either Rep. Ralph Abraham and businessman Eddie Rispone, who both joined the president on stage. Trump also called Democrats' impeachment inquiry"crap" and continued to accuse them of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2016 election.
The Trump campaign was caught off-guard by the president's decision to hold a rally in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the day before the election, with the president pre-empting the official announcement with a tweet. It was the president's idea last weekend and though the re-election team usually prefers more time to build a crowd, aides scrambled to pull it off.
