According to a recent New York Post article, Governor Jeff Landry is being considered for the role of attorney general in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. Landry, who became Louisiana’s governor less than a year ago, previously served as the state’s attorney general and has longstanding ties to Trump. Political Analyst Bernie Pinsonat says Landry has his hands full as Governor.
“He’s in the middle of trying to reassemble Louisiana and keep the state afloat. Keep people in Louisiana. I mean there’s so many problems in Louisiana.”
In July, Landry expressed reluctance about leaving his post early, but Trump’s recent win could shift his stance. Landry has been a vocal Trump ally, endorsing his 2024 presidential campaign early on. Pinsonat says Landry has a great relationship with Trump…
“I’m positive that they remain good friends, and they’re also political allies, but him leaving the state, as you know right now he’s in the middle of a legislative session to revamp Louisiana’s tax structure. I don’t expect him to do it.”
Trump endorsed Landry in his 2023 gubernatorial race, and Trump Jr. supported him at a rally in Louisiana. If appointed, Pinsonat says he thinks it’s just too soon for Landry.
“If this was his seventh or eight year as being governor I think it would be a great opportunity for him, but not before he even has his second legislative session.”
