Part 10/13:
This internal purge begs the question: Why does Federman remain a Democrat? The answer appears to be strategic. His critics warn that his approval among Democratic voters has cratered—down to 33%—making re-election unlikely. His status as a “dissident” within the party hints that eventually, he may find it more politically viable to switch allegiances.
Experts and political insiders suggest that his genuine policy positions and his refusal to bow to radical narratives could make him a prime candidate to join the Republican ranks, where his views align more closely with the mainstream. For Federman, the writing is on the wall: the Democrat Party, in its current radicalized form, is no longer a place for someone with his principles.
