What would be the functional difference if he wears the R jersey other than the D jersey?
Other than him having basically no shot at getting elected as an R. Dudes dead man walking. It doesn’t matter which parties flag he flies.

It’s a Catch-22 for both parties. If he stays on as a Democrat he sows discord in the party and will likely vote against the party line at times, but it will help them keep the majority after the midterms. If he switches parties, he upsets the Dem majority but his fellow Republicans will shun him and make him their scapegoat, and as you said he’ll never get elected again.
