In the final televised debate before the November 21st runoff, Democrat John Bel Edwards and Republican David Vitter, made their case to voters why they should be elected as the state’s next governor. Edwards says his experience in the military will be beneficial for Louisiana.
Vitter’s prostitution scandal was brought up multiple times during the debate. The senator wasn’t afraid to address it in his final remarks, by explaining his family’s forgiveness is what motivates him to do his best for the state.
In Vitter’s latest television ad, he accuses Edwards of picking voters up from an adult night club in New Orleans on a party bus to early vote. In Edward’s response, he made a comment about Vitter’s sensitive past.
All the polls are showing Vitter trailing in the final days leading up to the election. Vitter tried to make his case by pointing out that most of Edwards’ campaign money comes from trial lawyers.
