Republicans are stepping up their efforts to persuade more House
Democrats to switch parties and are zeroing in on a second-term
Pennsylvanian who is not ruling out such a move.
Democratic Rep. Chris Carney received a phone call Wednesday from Sen.
John McCain (R-Ariz.) asking him to consider becoming a Republican, a
top GOP official told POLITICO.
A spokesman for Carney declined to say if the congressman was considering such a switch.
“No further comment at this time,” said Carney spokesman Josh Drobnyk, who would only confirm that the call took place.
