The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has vowed to temporarily employ them until they find new offices on Capitol Hill. He said he would announce his intentions soon and he was given “no commitments” for committee assignments or other benefits to induce him to switch sides. Even as Van Drew declined to publicly confirm his exit from the party, his colleagues were taking steps to prepare for it.
A day earlier, Murphy delivered a letter to Van Drew informing him that he was “no longer eligible for membership,” though he was invited to come address the group during their Tuesday meeting. Van Drew did not attend."They are doing that on the basis of the fact that it is a Democratic — and a good one — organization, and you could not be a member if you were to change,” he said.
