During tonight's Republican National Convention, several speakers who have recently switched party affiliations from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party will take the stage.
One of the notable figures is New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who made headlines in 2022 when he transitioned from being a freshman Democrat to a member of the Republican Party. Van Drew cited being pressured to vote in favor of President Donald Trump's impeachment as the deciding factor that led him to leave the Democratic Party.
