There was a decent indication of the rout in Louisiana legislative races to come back in August, when the Democrats failed to qualify credible candidates in the majority of districts up for grabs due to term limits – including several districts they currently control.
We knew then that the Republican majorities of 60 votes in the House (out of 105) and 25 votes in the Senate (out of 39) were going to expand. When qualifying was over, those 60 House votes became 63 because the Democrats didn’t event contest seats being vacated by Sam Jones, Truck Gisclair and James Armes.

And in the Senate the Democrats didn’t mount a serious challenge to a single Republican-held seat, while being in the position of having two seats in jeopardy of GOP flips. With 26 seats required for a supermajority, this was a cycle in which the Dems simply had to hold the line if not take back a seat or two.
From the standpoint of the Democrats, the failures at qualifying only got worse on primary election night.
The Democrats lost both of those two contested D-held seats. The District 28 seat thrown open when Eric LaFleur was termed out went to hard-core conservative Republican Heather Cloud, who blew out a pair of Democrat state representatives Robert Johnson and Bernie LeBas by earning a shocking 63 percent of the vote in a rout. And even worse, a Democrat-held seat which wasn’t thrown open by term limits also flipped when Barry Milligan knocked out John Milkovich in District 38, taking 51 percent of the vote against Milkovich and fellow Democrat Katrina Early.
Meaning the Republicans now control not just a supermajority in the Senate, but 27 of the 39 seats. That gives them a vote to spare beyond the two-thirds.
