I don't think John Bel Edwards can break the pattern of popular opposition party governors (where the other party wins at the top of the ticket by 10+) flaming out in a senate race but maybe he could run for governor in 2027 if things really go belly up in the state. Louisiana has term limits for consecutive terms but he can run again after one term out of office.

I think Edwards would have a far better shot at a third term as governor than LePage did when he went up against Janet Mills here in Maine. Paul "I-was-Trump-before-Trump" LePage got crushed, losing by almost 14 percent.
Edwards is probably the highest profile Democrat in LA right now.
If not him, Mitch Landrieu would be an alternative as a Senate candidate. On the other hand, his sister, former Senator Mary Landrieu, lost re-election in 2014 so the Landrieu family name isnтАЩt exactly fresh.
