Former California Democrat State Senate leader Gloria Romero announced on Wednesday that she is leaving the Democrat party and endorsing Trump.
Gloria Romero served in the California state senate as a Democrat from 1998 to 2010.
“Today, I say goodbye. Adios. 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,” Gloria Romero said at the state Capitol.
“Perhaps my biggest disconnect with my old party has been over school choice, education freedom and the right to have quality schools for all,” Romero said during a press conference. “Especially for poor and minority children trapped in chronically failing schools.”

Texas State Representative Shawn Thierry formally switched her party affiliation last week, leaving the progressive Democratic Party to join the Republican Party.
“I am leaving the left and joining the party of family, faith, and freedom,” Thierry said in a statement last Friday.

This move marks a significant shift in political allegiance for Romero, who served as a Democrat in the California state senate for over a decade.
Her decision to leave the party and join the growing number of individuals, particularly Latinos, disenchanted with the Democratic Party reflects a broader trend in current political dynamics.
Romero’s emphasis on education freedom and quality schools for all, especially underserved communities, sheds light on her motivation for this unexpected switch.
More and more Democrats are finally seeing the true colors of the left.
