See, Trump helpful, Obama and Hillary, not helpful.
Why Louisiana governor says Trump's visit was 'helpful'
Days after expressing concerns that Donald Trump's trip to flood-stricken Louisiana could turn into a "photo-op," Gov. John Bel Edwards has said that the Republican nominee's visit was "helpful."
The visit, and the accompanying press coverage, were beneficial in drawing attention to the situation in Louisiana, Gov. Edwards said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, also noting his appreciation for a "good phone call" with vice presidential candidate Mike Pence, whom Edwards described as "sincere and genuine."
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has faced criticism from some for not yet visiting Louisiana, instead finishing out a family vacation to Martha's Vineyard. (Governor Edwards has defended the president, saying that the White House offered to visit but the state told them to hold off until the immediate response phase was finished.) The president is scheduled to visit Louisiana next week.
