In a September 2024 interview on “The Ingraham Angle,” former California Democratic Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero explained her switch to the Republican Party, warning Democrats that many disaffected members no longer recognize the “party of democracy” after a “rigged” primary sidelined voters.
This story remains relevant today because the radicalism described by Romero has continued unabated over the last year. Not only has California Gov. Gavin Newsom threatened to redistrict republican seats out of his state, but he also continued pushing woke polices.
