4. Biden reduces dems slim majority in the house nt

[Laelth]

8. LA has a Democratic Governor.

I think that we should get a Democratic replacement, but I am not certain how LA law works in a case like this.

12. I think replacement is only for Senators, there will be special election here

11. That is a big mistake and no seat in Louisiana is completely safe.

15. Please see my post below.. Richmond

has been Biden's campaign chair and with him since the beginning.

Don't you think Biden and he took that into consideration when he invited him to be on his Admin Team?

14. Richmond was Elected to his 6th Term..

by "64% of the vote" .. bet they get another Dem in there so your negative statement doesn't hold water.

6. He is from . . .

New Orleans which should be a safe seat.

9. Does LA have a dem governor

and does the governor get to appoint a replacement?

[wishstar]

13. Yes, their governor is Democratic and the district is Democratic New Orleans

so I would guess Biden's team thinks the seat will remain Democratic.

[Demsrule86]

10. Does the governor appoint someone? We don't have a strong enough majority in the House

for this sort of thing. And I hope the seat safe.

7. Is he a sitting house member? We have a bare majority in the House.
