Leading the race: Attorney General Jeff Landry has a sizeable lead in the governor’s race, a new Times-Picayune poll says. With less than two months until election day, Landry, one of many Republicans in the race, had 36% of the vote in the poll. Democrat Shawn Wilson was second with 26%. State politics reporter Tyler Bridges has all the details. Laid to rest: Jason Cantrell, Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s husband, was laid to rest in a somber service Tuesday in New Orleans. Ben Myers and Sophie Kasakove have this report. Will records fall? We mentioned yesterday that it’s gonna be hot as blazes today. Like, maybe record heat. As in maybe hottest EVER.
