Former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero has announced her departure from the Democrat Party, registering as a Republican and endorsing former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election. Romero, who previously held influential positions within the Democrat Party as both Senate Democratic Caucus Chair and Senate Majority Leader, declared her decision in an impassioned public statement on Wednesday.
“Today, I say goodbye. Adios,” Romero began, speaking in front of the California Capitol, the very place where she once held significant power as a leading Democrat. “I’ve had enough. I am now another near lifelong Democrat who is joining the growing number of people, including key groups like Latinos, who are leaving the Democratic Party.”
“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.”
While Romero did not delve deeply into the specifics of her grievances with the party, she mentioned that several issues motivated her decision.
Note that both parties have been corrupted for a long time! People with good intentions have given up with trying to do good when they realize the level of corruption especially at the lower levels of the system! Some may have played along and did their best to effect change! Note that a lot of good people on both sides of the political divide found themselves in the position that playing along was the best option! Until Q came along millions realized that there is a way to make this all right!
