Texas Democrat to Switch Parties to GOP
A Texas congressman, Greg Laughlin, will join the Republican Party on Monday after leaving a campaign committee amid a row with Democratic leaders. The switch would place him as the fourth Democrat to defect since Republicans gained control last November, giving the GOP a 232 to 202 majority. Laughlin, a large rural South Texas district representative, had been rumored for over a week to defect, following Georgia's Nathan Deal who switched last April.
