I know that happened once- can't remember who it was. Some Senator changed parties and flipped control of the Senate.

(1,023 posts)What the fuck for? In no way would she be welcome. Her stance as a moderate has proven to be a sham and her vote for Kavanaugh is unforgivable. No thank you. (Feeling a little raw this morning).
I read recently that she considered running as an independent recently. Here's a link:

Also, what if Biden gives her a cabinet position? Maine has a Dem governor. How would her replacement be chosen?
One last thing. She might still lose. Only 68% has reported in her race, for some strange reason. She's currently at 49.4%, and there's ranked choice voting in Maine.
