Another Democrat switches to Republican Party (Nebraska this time)
We have covered this trend many times on Common Cents, here, here, here and here. This time a Nebraska Democrat switched this week to the Republican Party giving the GOP a filibuster-proof majority! Via Omaha World Herald.
LINCOLN — State Sen. Mike McDonnell of Omaha announced Wednesday he is changing his party registration from Democrat to Republican.
McDonnell said he is making the change because his anti-abortion views have not been respected by Nebraska Democrats, including the decision by the Douglas County Democrats not to seat him as a delegate and not to provide resources to him and the state party’s decision to censure him.
“Being a Christian, a member of the Roman Catholic Church and pro-life is more important to me than being a registered Democrat,” he said.
He made the announcement at a press conference flanked by Gov. Jim Pillen, Attorney General Mike Hilgers and a number of other Republican leaders.
