Third State Rep. in a Month Switches From Democrat to Republican

Rep. Jeremy LaCombe of Louisiana became the third state representative in a month to switch from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party. The Biden administration’s disastrous policies are seemingly having an effect on state lawmakers’ politics.

The New York Post reported on April 11 that Jeremy LaCombe announced he was no longer a Democrat and would be registering with the Republican Party instead.

The Post said the motive for LaCombe’s defection to the Republicans is unknown. He is the second Louisiana representative to become Republican and leave the Democrat Party in less than a month’s time, the Postadded. State Rep. Francis Thompson switched from Democrat to Republican in March, giving Republicans a supermajority in the Louisiana state House.
