Senator John Kennedy spoke at the Baton Rouge Press Club and during the address, he gave his thoughts on the current state of the Governor’s race. Kennedy says he’s spoken with President Trump about the election, but did not disclose many more details.
Cut 10 (08) “…things his way.”
Kennedy believes the race will be a close one, but adds that Governor Edwards has the advantage of having plenty of money and mainstream media connections.
Cut 11 (10) “…know that’s true.”
Kennedy stopped short of endorsing one candidate, and says although he likes all three candidates, either of the two Republican candidates, Baton Rouge businessman Eddie Rispone or Congressman Ralph Abraham would do a better job than Governor Edwards.
Kennedy was at one time considered a favorite to run as a Republican against Edwards before deciding against entering the race late last year. The Senator says the current candidates have not made him reconsider that decision.
