→Ivey joins Democrats in choosing House Speaker
Despite his conservative votes on past issues, Ivey on January 13, 2020, his first day as a state representative for his second full term, was among twenty-three Republican lawmakers, known as the [[Louisiana Republican Fraud Squad|Fraud Squad]], who voted for the [[Moderate Republican]] [[Clay Schexnayder]] of Ascension Parish, whose election as House [[Speaker]] depended heavily on the votes of thirty-five Democratic lawmakers along with the two [[Independent]] legislators, and the Republican dissenters. Democratic Governor [[John Bel Edwards]], Jindal's successor, made contacts on behalf of Schexnayder, who defeated the more conservative Representative [[Sherman Mack]], 60 to 45.<ref>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' January 23, 2020.</ref>

The radio broadcaster [[Moon Griffon]] is a long-time critic of Ivey, who he calls "Bel-Boy," because of Ivey's "sycophantic" support for Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards.<ref>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' August 19, 2020}}</ref>
