Just two years ago, 26 Democrats voted for an amendment that would ensure that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is alerted if an illegal alien attempts to purchase a firearm, which they are prohibited from doing. Several of those Democrats lost their elections last year while Rep. Jeff Van Drew (NJ) switched parties. On Thursday, all 17 of those remaining Democrats voted against the amendment that would ensure that ICE is notified if an illegal alien unlawfully tries to purchase a firearm.
The following Democrats made the switch, which could prove costly in next year’s elections:
- Rep. Cindy Axne (IA)
- Rep. Angie Craig (MN)
- Rep. Jim Costa (CA)
- Rep. Charlie Crist (FL)
- Rep. Antonio Delgado (NY)
- Rep. Jared Golden (MA)
- Rep. Josh Gottheimer (NJ)
- Rep. Andy Kim (NJ)
- Rep. Conor Lamb (PA)
- Rep. Susie Lee (NV)
- Rep. Elaine Luria (VA)
- Rep. Stephanie Murphy (FL)
- Rep. Tom O’Halleran (AZ)
- Rep. Kurt Schrader (OR)
- Rep. Mikie Sherrill (NJ)
- Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI)
- Rep. Abigail Spanberger (VA)
