Ex Klansman David Duke fuels Louisiana political surge
In Louisiana nearly half a million voters backed former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, placing him in the runoff against Edwin Edwards. Supporters cite tax and welfare reform as motives while downplaying racism, though analysts warn of a strong racial backlash and broad anti establishment sentiment guiding the vote. Duke’s campaign, rejected by the White House, taps fears about taxes, crime, and government stagnation, drawing diverse voters from New Orleans suburbs to Cajun parishes.
