Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine held a press conference on Wednesday to announce that he will continue to caucus with the Democrats, one day after Republicans claimed the Senate majority in a crushing victory.
“I have decided to remain with the Democratic caucus,” the first-term senator said in Brunswick, Maine.
There had been speculation that King might caucus with Republicans if they gain control of the chamber.
On Wednesday, he stressed the need for a productive Senate, and said he’ll continue to work with senators from across the spectrum.
“The question is who I work with. Not who I caucus with,” he said.
Good, now maybe he can convince Collins to dump the GOP…but she won’t.
Paving the way for an independent 2016 Presidential run?
Good deal.
Sounds good to me.
Not necessarily, but for a Democratic Senate after the 2016 election. Or it might just possibly be principle.
