Independent Democrat facts for kids
An Independent Democrat is someone who agrees with the Democratic Party in the United States on many issues, but prefers not to call himself a Democrat or be in the Party. Former Independent Democrats included Zadok Casey and Strom Thurmond. The only Independent Democrat in office today is U.S. Senator and former Vice Presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, who was kicked out of the Democratic Party when he formed "Connecticut for Lieberman" to get back in the Senate in 2006.
