She’s still calling herself a Democrat. I don’t think GOP voters will respect her unless she goes super hard with MAGA fascism. Even then, there’s a credibility issue for GOP voters, and she won’t have Independents or obviously Democrats.

She’d have to chop a good deal of that stuff to exploit the full grifting potential available to her but I hardly think that’s impossible if she sets her mind to it, everyone likes the thought of converts to their own side even if not necessarily the specific person so I’m sure there would be room for her “Why I Left the Left” story somewhere in that ecosystem. JD Vance was a never Trumper but swapped over and now he’s the VP for the guy so a lot of crazy things are possible

Idk Stevens’ politics well, but Tulsi Gabbard fooled people a long time before switching sides. There’s more to do than be a senator, if you’re willing to do anything.
