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 Post added. State Rep. Francis Thompson switched from Democrat to Republican in March, giving Republicans a supermajority in the Louisiana state House.
North Carolina state Rep. Tricia Cotham gave her state‘s Republicans a state House supermajority as well when she switched from Democrat to Republican this month. We can only hope this indicates an ongoing trend.
LaCombe, Thompson, and Cotham aren’t the first local politicians to leave the Democrat Party behind this year. In February, I reported on how the mayor of East Hanover, New Jersey, and the entire town council all switched over to the Republican Party “to best represent their constituents,” according to the New Jersey Globe. It was a sign of hope for Republicans at the state level, where ordinary voters have more power. That was soon after more than one New Jersey Republican was murdered and while the news was filled with stories of Democrats weaponizing the FBI and Justice Department against political opponents. That’s definitely still happening, as the bogus Trump indictment shows. But the trend in favor of Republicans continues, albeit slowly, at the state level.

We need to be more vocal in what we want, not what we don’t want.
Not into Bud Lite.
I’d be careful about this folks. Leftists are hardcore zealots. I would not doubt for a second that they are planning to overtake the Republican party or anyone else that stands oin their way.
Liberals have been infiltrating the party for years.
My question is always...
If a democrat switches to republican, does it mean that he/she approves of the republican ideals? If so, why was he/she a democrat to begin with?
Yep, so many they came up with a name for them, RINO
“If so, why was he/she a democrat to begin with?”

The simplest answer would be: They grew up in an environment that told them to be Democrats because Republicans were pure evil.
2nd. Republicans were always assumed to be the FAT CATS of any industry and thus to be rejected for the PIOUS ones of the dEmocrat party.
3rd. They held views at one time that they no longer hold and realize with their epiphany comes responsibility.
We’ve had two wonderful Presidents who were dEmocrats and realized what a threat the dEmocrat party was to this country. Both were loved as dEmocrats by dEmocrats and yet on the same day as they changed political party they became The Enemy of all dEmocrats.
Are there infiltrators that pretend to be Republican in nature? Heck yes. Currently, they’re called RINOs.
If any politician is looking for a very sound reason to switch from D to R, I personally would not want to face my God with a D behind my name.
The dems locked up pa in 2022
Yes, they’ve infiltrated America at all levels very well over the decades as well.
