The once and would-be-future senator leaves behind his former party to have a chance in South Dakota.

Larry Pressler has had “Republican” and “independent” next to his name, and he may add “Democrat” if given the chance.

Last week, political observers started flagging South Dakota as another onetime safe Republican Senate seat in jeopardy, like Kansas, speculating that Pressler’s run as an independent could affect control of the upper house.

Although he has stayed mum as to which caucus he would join if elected, Pressler, who served as a Republican senator from 1979 to 1997, now finds himself more aligned with the Democrats and President Obama on issues such as Obamacare, gun control, and immigration.
