Another One Bites The Dust: Democratic Party Suffers Yet Another Blow As This State Lawmaker Joins Republicans

Another Louisiana state lawmaker declared his departure from the Democratic Party this week, further shaking the party from within its ranks.

State Rep. Jeremy LaCombe revealed his switch in party affiliation to the Republican Party, as reported by The Advocate, a Louisiana-based newspaper, on Monday.

The cause of LaCombe's departure has yet to be disclosed, but this latest move marks the second Louisiana Democrat to switch parties in less than a month, and the third in the country after a state lawmaker from North Carolina did the same.

Last month, Louisiana state Rep. Francis Thompson gave Republicans in the state House a supermajority last month after he switched his party affiliation. Earlier this month, North Carolina state Rep. Tricia Cotham gave Republicans in the state House a supermajority with her switch.

These shifts come amid President Biden's plummeting approval rating among demographic groups, including women, voters aged 45 years and above, suburban voters, rural voters, and Democrats – particularly men.

A Fox News poll reveals that Biden's rating among suburban women hit a low of 41%. Another poll recently conducted found only 33% of Americans believe Biden deserves a second term in the 2024 presidential elections.
