Duke ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in the nonpartisan blanket primary in 1990 against the incumbent Democrat [[J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.]] of [[Shreveport]]. In 1991, he lost the governor's race to Democrat [[Edwin Edwards]], who easily secured his fourth nonconsecutive term in the position. In that contest, Edward supporters used posters saying, "Vote for the Crook. It's Important."
Duke participated in the "International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust" in 2006 held in Iran. This was a convocation of holocaust deniers.{{Officeholder

In the 2016 Presidential election it was reported throughout the left wing media that David Duke endorsers [[Donald Trump]]. And David Duke's association with Trump caused him to be enormously smeared by the liberal press and far left groups such as Black Lives Matter, [[Moveon.org]] and the [[SPLC]] but David Duke was swiftly disavowed by Trump and RNC chair Reince Prebius called Duke's views hateful and bigoted and Trump disavowed David Duke not only in 2016 but also in 2000 when Trump ran for president on the short lived [[Reform Party]] and which Trump left because of David Duke's membership. But the Democrats, never disavowed and disowned [[Robert Byrd]], whom [[Hillary Clinton]] called her "friend and mentor" https://m.youtube.com/watch?.
