WASHINGTON, D.C. – He’s quiet no more, Save Jerseyans. Jeff Van Drew finally made things official on Thursday, huddling with President Trump and GOP leaders at the White House to announce his defection from the Democrat Party. The big roll-out comes after days of silence from the man himself.

Meanwhile, establishment Republicans continued to close ranks around their new caucus member.
“Jeff Van Drew should be commended for refusing to blindly follow Nancy Pelosi’s stampede of hate-filled Democrats over the edge of the political cliff,” opined NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer. “This is further proof that the socialist Democrats’ hatred of President Trump and obsession with removing him from office will cost them their majority next November.
“This is now a Republican seat and we will fight tooth and nail to ensure it remains a Republican seat,” Emmer added.
