John Bel Edwards says one GOP gubernatorial candidate is "extreme and partisan"

Gov. John Bel Edwards had something good to say about all the major Republicans who want his job — except one.

“The most extreme and partisan — and extremely partisan person — that I know,” said Edwards, in an interview, about Attorney General Jeff Landry, the only Republican who has officially declared his candidacy at this point.

For the other major Republican candidates who have expressed an interest in running for governor in 2023, Edwards, a Democrat, said something positive about them, even as he noted their political differences.
