THE BEST IS YET TO COME: Republicans Gained SUPERMAJORITIES in 3 States In Recent Weeks.

[Free Vulcan]

The Democrats have suffered major reverses in North Carolina, Louisiana, and Wisconsin, with Republican legislators gaining supermajorities in all three states.

With the state legislatures now firmly in the hands of the GOP, the power of Democrat governors in the three states may be in peril.

In Louisiana, the Republicans – still very much considered the ‘party of Trump’ – enjoy supermajorities in both the House and Senate of the state legislature as a result of its longest-serving lawmaker, Rep. Francis Thompson, switching parties, meaning Governor John Bel Edwards can no longer veto bills banning biological males from girls’ sports in schools or lifting restrictions on concealed carry, for example.
