The
Republican National Committee is pouring another $1 million into the Louisiana governor’s race ahead of Saturday’s runoff — a move that comes amid mounting GOP concerns about losing a second major
election in a conservative state in as many weeks.
The last-minute spending doubles the committee’s investment in the race, where Republican Eddie Rispone is trying to unseat
Democratic incumbent John Bel Edwards.
President
Donald Trump is set to headline a rally for Rispone in Louisiana on Thursday evening, barreling ahead despite worries within the GOP that Edwards is a slight favorite to win.
