Two days ago I wrote "Hardly a week goes by without someone in elective office announcing they're no longer a Democrat." Check out this news from the Daily Wire.
A woman who was the California State Senate Democratic Majority Leader for three years is switching her party affiliation to the GOP and will vote for Donald Trump. Gloria Romero, once one of the state's most prominent Democrats has become a Republican. See her reasons.
“Today, I am leaving the Democratic Party,” Romero said. “I stayed for as long as I could. I tried reforms, I spoke out, I voted.”
“Today, I say goodbye, adios, I’ve had enough,” she said. “I am now another near lifelong Democrat who is joining the growing number of people — including key groups, Latinos — who are leaving the Democratic Party.”
Romero says the Republican Party has become "the champion of working people" under Trump. She adds the Democrats' refusal to protect women's sports and promote school choice also influenced her changing registration.
Reading between the lines, it appears Romero's Hispanic roots ended up in conflict with Democrats' shifting policy choices which in CA primarily reflect the desires of black and LGBTQ+ constituencies.
