Forgive my ignorance, but how can an elected state rep just change parties in the middle of their term? Wasn't he elected by Democrats? Seems like they'd be pissed he's "changed teams". Can they recall him now?

So Nebraska has a unicameral (only one House and no senate). Our representatives are called senators and they actually do not run as republicans or democrats. You have to do the research to understand what their platforms are. But they don’t really advertise themselves as Dem or GOP. So as such, declaring he’s switching parties doesn’t mean anything to his constituents. Additionally we already had a majority of conservatives.

Thank you for explaining that. I had no idea!
