Wow!  The number of “former” democrats keeps rising, and the number of NEW Trump voters keeps growing by the day.  More and more “former” LEADERS in the Democratic Party are jumping ship in favor of President Trump!

A top California democrat has RE-REGISTERED her party affiliation today, and has endorsed President Trump for President!  Check out this video shared by Steve Hilton on X.com:

“…today, I say ‘Goodbye, Adios’.  I’ve had enough.”  Those are powerful words from someone who has considered herself a “champion” of the democratic party for most of her life.

The Washington Examiner has picked up the story as well:

Former California State Senate Democratic Majority Leader Gloria Romero announced her decision at a press conference hosted by Republican commentator Steve Hilton, who livestreamed it on his X account. She was joined by several leading Republican legislators.

“In this Capitol behind me, I served as both Senate Democratic Caucus chair and the Senate majority leader. But today I say goodbye. Adios! I’ve had enough,” she said.

Romero recalled her role as the Democratic convention delegate for the Rev. Jesse Jackson, then for former President Barack Obama at three separate conventions. She said her heroes growing up were Democratic titans Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Robert F. Kennedy.

According to Romero, the Republican party is clearly the “champion” of the working class — under the leadership of President Donald Trump.  Once again we are seeing another lifelong democrat leave the party behind because it no longer stands for what it claims to stand for.

Romero stated emphatically during this morning’s press conference that she would indeed vote for President Trump, as reported by LA-based news site MyNewsLA.com :

“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.”

In what may be the most telling aspect of this continuing mutiny within the democratic party, Romero hammered home the policy points that were most pivotal in her decision to support President Trump, as reported from the Washington Examiner story referenced earlier:

Romero also hit the Democrats on women’s rights, criticizing the undermining of Title IX protections, and going too far on abortion. Immigration, crime, and the rising cost of living were topics of her criticism as well.

“But perhaps my biggest disconnect with my old party now has been over school choice, education freedom, and the right to have quality schools for all, especially as congressman Kevin Kiley and I have fought together, especially for school choice for poor and minority children who are trapped in chronically failing schools,” she added.

With a combination of both failed policy and non-existent policy plaguing the Harris-Walz campaign, it is little surprise that people who stand on principle like Gloria Romero have been moving in droves towards conservative principles, and ultimately support for President Donald Trump.

We are currently seeing nearly daily reports of lifelong democrats who are swap their allegiance.  There is little doubt that Gloria Romero will not be the last to do so.  The only question in my mind is… who will be the NEXT high-profile democrat to come out in strong support of President Trump?

On Dem Party she says “I think it’s taken a giant leap toward authoritarianism and censorship.”

With more and more democrats coming to terms with the “giant leap toward authoritarianism and censorship” that Gloria Romero highlighted in her press conference in front of the California Capitol building today — I expect many more of those principled democrats to become “former” democrats as we march towards November.
