Jeff Van Drew, New Jersey congressman who ditched Democrats, walks back 'undying support' for Trump

New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, the congressman who left the Democratic Party over the push to impeach President Trump, is walking back some of the comments he made at the time of his switch to the Republican Party.

Van Drew, who is in a tough reelection battle against Amy Kennedy, told CNN that his word choice last year did not reflect what was in his heart.

"I think the words didn't explain as well what I exactly felt," Van Drew said. "It's not undying support that, whatever you say I'm going to do, or undying support, I agree with whatever you say. It was undying support for the presidency, for the idea of the greatness of America, for a friendship, but not necessarily that I'm going to agree with everything."

Thanks @corbe

I think the only Republican congressman we’ll have is Chris Smith. He’s been in there since 81, and I think he’s there for life.
