| Description | Arlen Specter made history today becoming the first-ever senator to switch directly from the Republican to the Democratic Party.
In the history of the republic, 20 other United States Senators have switched political affiliations while in office with 12 of those coming since the direct election of senators in 1913, according to records kept by the U.S. Senate Historical Office. |
