Independent Senator May Align With GOP After Midterms
DANIEL STRAUSS – APRIL 10, 2014, 10:23 AM EDT
Sen. Angus King (I-ME) is floating siding with Republicans after the midterm elections.
In an interview with The Hill, King, who currently caucuses with Democrats, said that he would make his decision on which party to caucus with after the the midterm elections. King said he is leaving open the possibility of switching over to caucus with Republicans if they take control of the Senate.
"I'll make my decision at the time based on what I think is best for Maine," King said to The Hill on Wednesday.
Republicans need to pick up six seats to take control of the chamber. Anything less would result either in a tie or Democratic control, and Vice President Joe Biden could always break a perfect split. If King switched to the GOP, though, that could move the balance as well.
