Democrat Jeff Van Drew, representing NJ-02, is a staunch opponent of impeachment and is switching parties.
Van Drew's district is south Jersey; affluent Philly suburbs, pine barrens and the shore. Eagles, Flyers, 76rs and Phillies. It had been represented by 11 term Congressman Frank LoBiondo, a longtime GOP squish for whom our college roommate used to work, also Sean Spicer. This is Trump country 50-46.
Van Drew's switch will probably make no difference vis-a-vis the coming impeachment vote, but it's a nice topper for all the other Dems who will vote no.
Pelosi the Pox almost certainly has the votes to carry through the articles of impeachment, because I guess she wants to hand the gavel over to Kevin McCarthy in 2021.
