If you're looking at the Senate it's actually the other way around in the last decade. With the house and other offices it's much harder to say who does it more. I don't think it's any sort of conspiracy or playbook, just something that makes the news and sticks in people's memory when it happens... It's a betrayal after all.

Christ. In 2023 there was 1 Republican who swapped to Democrat.

In the same year there was 12 Democrats who swapped to Republican.

Nope. No issue with the parties at all. Only one is clearly the problem for sure.

Thanks! I didn't think to search Wikipedia; that was really helpful :)
