He's about to join a minority party without a shot at majority control for a while. This is in contrast to Specter who upgraded his position in Washington. His jobs going to get a lot less fun.

If I was him and didn't want to stay with the democrats, I would become an Indie and consider retirement in 2020. If he keeps caucusing with the Dems then he'll keep the committee assignments. His present plan seems fated towards an eventual retirement or a primary loss anyway.

Don't think he cares about the long run in the House.  He's probably eyeing 2021 NJ-GOV or 2022/24 NJ-SEN as a Republican if this works out for him in 2020.

If that's true, then he's an even bigger of an idiot than I originally thought.

I feel bad for his staff... they came to DC to work for Democrats and their boss is pretty much forcing them out of a job.

This guy votes 88% with the Democratic Party and endorsed Cory Booker. Have fun shaking that off in a GOP primary!

I just find it hilarious how literally every other tweet on his Twitter account is him touting a major piece of Democratic legislation... he even mentioned House Dems by name in his support for the drug cost bill.

Unlike Sinema and Peterson, he didn't shy away from the Democratic label.

May be - he simply sees all that impeachment thing to be utter sillyness (me - too). But - not sure, whether it's a sound reason to switch - he will NOT be welcome in Trump Republican party either.

Or because his district is R-trending and he's an opportunist? That sounds more accurate.

Unsurprisingly, his staff is beginning to quit.

All but his Chief of Staff have resigned... and it looks like she'll be sticking with him as she just resigned as a committeewoman for the NJ Democrats.
