NC Democrat Tricia Cotham faces backlash over party switch
TL;DR Summary
North Carolina Democrats are calling for the resignation of Rep. Tricia Cotham after reports surfaced that she would switch parties to the GOP, giving Republicans a veto-proof supermajority in the state’s legislature. Cotham's move is seen as a "deceit" and "betrayal" by Democrats, who say it would give Republicans greater power over issues like abortion and elections. Cotham beat her Republican opponent by nearly 20 percentage points last year after a crowded Democratic primary.
