Democrats Picked Up Seats in Off-Year Elections

“Louisiana’s runoffs on Saturday brought the 2023 legislative elections to a virtual close, settling the final composition of all eight chambers that were renewing their entire membership this fall. That’s in addition to special elections held throughout this year,” Bolts reports.

“The final result: Democrats won five additional legislative seats this year.”

“That’s a small change, since there were more than 600 seats in play this year. But it goes against the expectation that the party that holds the White House faces trouble in such races.”
