Gloria Romero, a former DNC delegate and co-chair of President Obama's re-election campaign, has joined the growing number of Democrats leaving the party for the GOP. Romero's decision was influenced by her disapproval of the party's policies and her admiration for RFK Jr.'s decision to support Trump.
As the Democratic Party continues its leftward shift, a prominent lifelong Democrat, Gloria Romero, has made the astonishing decision to join the Republican Party. Romero, a former DNC delegate and co-chair for President Barack Obama's re-election, expressed her disillusionment with the Democratic Party's direction as the primary factor behind her departure.
During an appearance on "Fox & Friends Weekend," Romero stated, "The party left me. I don't know what it is anymore. If this is the new way forward for Democrats, good luck. Many of us will be leaving." Her decision was solidified by RFK Jr.'s endorsement of Trump, a move she found compelling.
Lifelong Democrat Chooses GOP, Citing Party's Leftward Shift
Romero's exit from the Democratic Party adds to the growing number of party members who have found themselves at odds with the party's increasingly progressive stance. In a recent op-ed for the New York Post, Romero outlined her dissatisfaction with Vice President Kamala Harris's tenure as California attorney general, labeling it unimpressive and accusing her of a "manipulated rise."
Romero expressed concern about the Democratic Party's embrace of "wokeness," its abandonment of key allies such as Israel, and its perceived capture by the "Hamas caucus." She believes the Republican Party under Donald Trump offers a more promising future, emphasizing border security and a commitment to an America that people want for their families and their future.
Lifelong Democrat Chooses GOP, Citing Party's Leftward Shift
Romero's departure from the Democratic Party serves as a testament to the party's ongoing ideological shift. As the party moves further to the left, it risks alienating moderates and lifelong members who may feel that the party no longer represents their values. Romero's decision is a reminder that political allegiances are not static and can be influenced by the evolving political landscape.
