FILE - In this June 6, 2019 file photo, Louisiana's Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards smiles as he describes the end of a legislative session that saw his teacher pay raise and education spending plans win final passage, in Baton Rouge, La. Edwards moved quickly to expand Medicaid when he took office in 2016. His state is the only one in the Deep South to embrace that signature piece of Barack Obama’s health law. And the Medicaid expansion program isn’t going anywhere even if Edwards is ousted by a Republican in this fall’s election. Instead, his two main opponents Ralph Abraham and Eddie Rispone are attacking Edwards’ hallmark achievement on management, not the program’s existence. (AP Photo/Melinda Deslatte, File)
