U.S. Senator Jim Jeffords’s opposition to the policies of the George W. Bush administration forced him to defect from the Republican party in 2001 to become an Independent and caucus with the Democrats. This caused a historic shift in power in the U.S. Senate. All eyes were then focused on the state of Vermont and its daring senator who stuck to his principles to create a watershed moment in national politics. Veteran journalists and politicians recall this monumental decision and the effect it had on Jeffords and his reputation back home in Vermont.
