With Pelosi hanging on by a thread with a two seat majority, are there any blue dog Democrats that could be convinced to defect?

Does anyone remember Jumpin' Jim Jeffords or Arlen Specter the defector? The Republicans lost control of the Senate between elections due to defections. With Pelosi hanging on by a thread to a two seat majority, are there any blue dog Democrats that could be targeted to switch parties? The left tends to stick together better then the right but there were several high level dem defections to the GOP during Trump's presidency, including the Governor of WV. We are only two defections away from impeaching the Harris/Biden admin.

Impeachment - forget it, need 2/3 in the Senate for that to not just be a freakshow circus. You need a majority in the Senate to get them to not just dismiss the impeachment without any debate.

It does take crazy things off the table, like packing the court, making Puerto Rico a state, eliminating the filibuster, etc.
