“I think we just elected a future party switcher.” — a commenter at Swing State Project, upon learning that the new Democratic candidate in West Virginia’s 1st congressional district, Mike Oliverio, said, “We start every campaign by putting it in God’s hands. And we know that his will shall be done. And if it is his will for us to win, we will win. And if not, he has a higher and better purpose for me somewhere else.”
I’m not sure if that’s why I would suspect Oliverio might switch parties; I think the fact that he doesn’t want to vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House is his biggest resemblance to recent congressional party-switcher Parker Griffith.
