defector

South Korean police have detained a North Korean defector for attempting to cross the heavily-guarded border back to the North on a stolen bus.

One of the potential defectors is state Sen. Mike McDonnell, an Omaha-area Republican who switched from the Democratic Party earlier this year.

Except the House Republicans don’t have enough votes to pass the package, given the opposition of party defectors as well as Democrats.

Ms Gabbard's comments came days after Trump received the endorsement of another Democratic defector, Robert F Kennedy Jr, who last week suspended his independent campaign for the White House.

Kamala Harris's White House run received a boost from the Obama double-act at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday evening, when attendees also saw party members break into dance and heard speeches from Republican defectors.
