Democrat state representatives switching parties and one special election over the last month gave Republicans three new supermajorities in state legislatures, bringing the total to 25 nationwide.
This week, North Carolina state Rep. Trisha Cotham announced her departure from the Democrat party and effectively changed her party affiliation to the Republican Party, ultimately giving the Republicans in the Tar Heel State a veto-proof supermajority in both the House and Senate.
Republicans in Raleigh now have a supermajority in both the House and Senate chambers to serve as a check on Governor Cooper with the power to override vetoes. #ncpol https://t.co/lyAWpWbDOI

I’d love to see more America First Supermajority, not RINO Supermajority 🤓
That would be a smart thing to do and I do hope it’s happening. I’m in Missouri but we have a couple of rotted areas which do cause issues i.e. St. Louis and K.C. MO but our state government is fairly solid red although there are a couple of a-hole republicans (John McCain sorts)
Who cares when some judge will just undo everything they accomplish?
Yep. Leftugees welcome. I urge all Americans who are for now stuck behind enemy lines in deep blue chitholes to get out and come join us in the free states.
Not ONE report on this on any of the alphabet or major news networks, they’re stuck on stupid with the political “race” explusion at the Tennessee legislature.
