Senate Term

Early in 2011, Scott announced that he would be leaving the Republican Party to become an Independent and would also be caucusing with the Democrats. This gave control of the Senate to the Democrats, with his defection mirroring that by former Republican Senator Jim Jeffords a decade earlier. He later formally joined the Democratic Party.
