And Trump even stumped for the guy and tweeted. Well, not so much stumped, but held his normal self-congratulatory rally three times (!) in Louisiana.
Edwards on Saturday narrowly defeated Eddie Rispone, a Republican opponent who had closely aligned himself with US President Donald Trump.
[...]
Trump, who had won 58 percent of the popular vote in Louisiana in the 2016 presidential election, had travelled to the state three times to support Rispone, a Republican businessman, and repeatedly supported the candidate on Twitter.
On Saturday afternoon he urged voters on Twitter: "Louisiana, 3 hours left, get out and Vote for @EddieRispone for Governor. Lower taxes and much more!"

Sad. Oh, well, they still have Mississippi.In Kentucky's gubernatorial election last week, Democratic challenger Andy Beshear defeated Republican Governor Matt Bevin despite the president's endorsement, while Democrats have also taken full control of state government in Virginia.
UPDATE:
He did the same thing in Kentucky.
How long before he starts hate-tweeting his minions?At the [Kentucky] rally, Trump told the crowd: “If you lose, it sends a really bad message … you can’t let that happen to me.”
