Ayotte Drifts Away from the GOP

Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) “is positioning herself as a Party of One,” the Washington Post reports.

“She has deliberately broken with Senate Republicans – most notably, by publicly calling out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for insisting on defunding Planned Parenthood in the budget bill and by announcing her support for President Obama’s clean power plan. Her voting record in recent years has drifted further towards the center, much to the frustration of influential conservative outside groups.”
