NEW: @NBCNews has confirmed reporting that Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Democrat who has come out against impeaching @realDonaldTrump is expecting to switch parties.

This comes days after an internal poll showed he was unlikely to win a Democratic primary in NJ's 2nd district.

1/
@NBCNews @realDonaldTrump According to the Dec. 7-10 Target Smart poll, just 24% of Dem. likely primary voters, 24% said he deserves to be reelected. 60% said they prefer to give someone new a chance.
@NBCNews @realDonaldTrump This is all according to two Democratic sources who expect Van Drew to leave the party.

The Post has reported he will join the GOP in the coming days:

WEIGHTY: The evangelical magazine founded by Billy Graham breaks with .... the entire Republican Party in the House.

Trump Should Be Removed from Office christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/decemb… via @CTMagazine
@CTmagazine The Democrats have had it out for him from day one, and therefore nearly everything they do is under a cloud of partisan suspicion.....

But the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce ....
@CTmagazine a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents.

That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.

Trump is about to become the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.

👉These facts are firsthand or recorded: THREAD

Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate the son of his political rival, Joe Biden (in a call -- and later on camera).
His chief of staff said on live TV the $$ was held because Trump wanted investigations and “to get over it.”

Giuliani on Fox admitted he “forced” aside anti-corruption U.S. ambassador Marie Yovanovitch because she was “going to make the investigations difficult for everybody.”
A day after Trump asked Zelensky for "a favor" in his July 25 call right after Zelensky asked for javelins, Kiev Embassy staffer David Holmes said he heard Trump “loudly” over a cell phone confirming “he's (Zelensky) gonna do it (the investigations)” (call w Sondland).

On @SteveKingIA saying Obama just "sent blankets" to Ukraine.

NOPE

While it's true Obama did NOT provide Ukraine with “lethal assistance,” they DID provide extensive military and security aid.

cnn.com/.../donald-tru…
@SteveKingIA U.S. and European officials (including Germany) in 2015 were concerned that providing Javelins would escalate the conflict with Russia.

Many experts, including Fiona Hill, changed their minds. In Obama's last year, Congress authorized lethal aid, but not the Javelins.
@SteveKingIA Trump was withholding all $400 million, even though Congress had appropriated it and Defense had said (in May) that Ukraine’s new president, who ran on an anti-corruption platform, met all anti-corruption standards.

NEWS: Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Democrat who opposes impeachment, plans to switch parties and become a Republican.

Staff were informed today. Question now is when, not if, he makes it official.

politico.com/news/2019/12/1…
This is a massive boon for Republicans ahead of the impeachment vote.
Van Drew maintained as of last week that he was and would remain a Democrat, but some new polling data might have changed that calculation...

CONFIRMED: Democratic Rep. Jeff Van Drew has informed staff he is SWITCHING PARTIES and will become a Republican, following a lengthy meeting w/ Trump.

And senior Dems have been scrambling to reach him all day.

story w/ @heatherscope: politico.com/news/2019/12/1…
@heatherscope The stunning move comes ahead of a historic vote on impeachment, to which Van Drew is strongly opposed.

But it also comes amid new polling that shows his approval numbers are underwater w/ Dem voters in his district:

Just 24% of ppl think he deserves to be reelected.
@heatherscope Republicans in the Capitol had been whispering all week about whether Van Drew would join their ranks.. in fact, some GOPers had even encouraged it.

The R's are gonna have an absolute field day with this one.
