NEW ORLEANS – President Donald Trump is the Republican Presidential nominee for the state of Louisiana.

An hour and a half after the polls closed, Trump had pulled in around 150,000 votes. That gave him over 96 percent of the votes from the state’s registered Republicans.

Joe Biden also coasted to an easy win on the Democratic side of the ticket. The two are expected to face off in November.
