Something is happening in California. After being screwed over by the Democrat Party on their promises of reparations, Black Californians are threatening to sit out 2024 or sabotage it for the Democrats; whether you believe that or not, it is unprecedented that this voting bloc has actually threatened to exercise their political power, albeit small, in this way. As RedState reported, Democrat State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil decided to change her registration to the Republican Party. Political expediency? Probably, but again, a sure sign that the Democrat stronghold in the state is showing significant fractures.
On Wednesday, the party was dealt another blow. Gloria Romero, who formerly was Democrat majority leader in the California Senate, has decided she also will change parties. Romero announced this on the State Capitol steps with Steve Hilton, California activist and host of the Steve Hilton Show, CA GOP Chairwoman Jessica Milan Patterson, Republican leadership in the California legislature, and Republican U.S. Congressman Kevin Kiley flanking her for the full effect.
Here’s the kicker: Unlike Alvarado-Gil, Romero has let it be known that she plans to vote for former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump.
You may now clutch your pearls.
Gloria Romero, the former Democratic majority leader in the California state Senate, announced on Wednesday that she was switching to the Republican Party and voting for Donald Trump in November.
Romero represented the 24th District, which included sections of East Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley. She made her announcement in a news conference at the state Capitol, while surrounded by California GOP Chair Jessica Millan Patterson, Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin), Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) and conservative political commentator Steve Hilton.
“Today I say ‘goodbye, adios,’ I’ve had enough. I am now another near-lifelong Democrat who is joining the growing number of people … who are leaving the Democratic Party,” Romero said. “This is not the Democratic Party that I once championed. I do not recognize it anymore, and I cannot continue. I changed my voting registration today as the sun was rising to Republican, which has, under Donald Trump, become the champion of working people, the big tent. And indeed, I will vote for Donald Trump this fall.”
Seems to be a lot of that going on. Good for them for waking up!!!
