Jeff Van Drew Switches Lanes!

Jeff Van Drew is joining his racist buddies in the Republican Party.

When New Jersey lawmaker Jeff Van Drew returns back to Washington, DC after the winter recess, the freshman U.S. Representative will join the Republican caucus.

Democratic leaders were informed of the decision and vow to defeat him in the 2020 U.S. Election.

Van Drew, the Fox News Democrat said that he will not support the party's decision to impeach Donald J. Trump.

Van Drew also did it to prevent the Democrats from challenging him in the primary.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and state Democrats demand Van Drew give back the money they put into his campaign. The New Jersey governor said Van Drew is "willing to enable Donald Trump just to salvage his own election."

"Betraying our values by siding with Trump is the final straw and made it impossible for him to continue being supported by our party, as grassroots activists, local party leaders in his district, and I have made clear in recent weeks. This party switch is cynical and desperate, and I am confident that a Democrat who shares the values and priorities of our Democratic Party will hold this seat."

Van Drew was urged to stay with the party by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD). The freshman lawmaker was still not willing to get onboard with impeachment.

Also, Trump called him to the White House and urged the lawmaker to "abandon the Democrat Party."

It's going to get Fox News attention. After all: All roads lead back to Sean "Softball" Hannity.

Van Drew appeared on Fox News primetime shows. One in particular is Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Van Drew openly agreed with the avowed white nationalist on Democrats being disorganized.

Van Drew denied he's switching parties. But folks ain't buying this shit.

"I'm not changing anything---just doing my job. I'm still a Democrat, right here," he said to The Washington Post.

Van Drew serves the 2nd Congressional District. He lives in the rural parts of New Jersey. The district went to Trump by 8 points. The district is a swing and it's likely to be a competitive race now knowing that Republicans are going to primary Van Drew and Democrats are willing to defeat him if he's the Republican nominee.

This year Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) left the Republican Party and became an independent. He will likely support the Democrats in the impeachment of Trump.
