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.

Rep. @jamie_raskin is showing off a packet of documents that the State IG just gave over to Congress.

Raskin says it's a bunch of propaganda & conspiracy theories about some of the State officials that Dems wanna talk to... apparently it had been given to Pompeo.
@jamie_raskin It's unclear where the documents came from, though Raskin said some of the folders appear to come from the Trump hotel.

"We don't know where it came from... the whole thing looks rather amateurish to me," he says.
@jamie_raskin "It does relate to efforts to... smear a number of employees who were getting in the way of the president," Raskin says of the documents.

Think voting the party line is the right thing to do if you are a true party loyalist in NJ?

Wrong.

A thread:
Just today we heard that Jeff van Drew, representative of CD-2, is switching parties from Democrat to Republican. This comes as no surprise to those who know anything about him: he was always a Dem in name only (DINO) politico.com/news/2019/12/1…
By doing this, van Drew is betraying every one of the voters who voted him into his seat less than a year ago

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.

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...

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
