King Hints He May Switch Sides

Sen. Angus King (I-ME), who caucuses with the Democrats, told The Hill that he will decide after the midterm elections whether to switch sides and join the Republicans.

Said King: “I’ll make my decision at the time based on what I think is best for Maine.”

“King’s remarks are a clear indication that congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle will have to woo the 70-year-old senator in order to recruit him to their side. That lobbying battle could be especially intense if King’s decision determines which party will control the chamber in the next Congress.”
