State Rep. Jeremy LaCombe, a Democrat elected in 2019 to a state House district, said he would be switching his party affiliation to Republican, according to a Monday report by The Advocate.

Additionally, it was unclear initially what prompted LaCombe to switch parties since he did not give any reasons.

However, this does come after the Republicans in the state House recently gained a supermajority in mid-March after state Rep. Francis Thompson announced his plan to switch party affiliations. Thompson switching from the Democrat to the Republican party gave the Louisiana House GOP a supermajority for the first time ever. Now, the Republicans in the Bayou State have a veto-proof supermajority in both the House and Senate.
