President Donald Trump has won Louisiana, per Decision Desk HQ.

Louisiana has voted Republican in nine of the last 12 presidential elections, reliably serving as a mainstay of the Republican candidate's electoral-vote count. The state is not home to any competitive down-ballot races in the House, Senate, or governorship.

Control over Louisiana's state government is split: The governorship is held by Democrats while the Republicans hold both chambers of the state legislature. In Congress, Louisiana's delegation is majority Republican, with Republicans holding seven of eight congressional seats. The state has eight electoral votes and was not expected by analysts to be competitive.
