Cali Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil ditches Democrats, turns Republican

Democrat California State Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil, known as a "lifelong Democrat," has a change of plans for her political future. She's ditching the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican! Alvarado-Gil said: "I can't in good conscience, with the values that I have and my commitment to represent the voters of California, continue to call myself a Democrat." This move might shake up politics in California and also have an influence on the 2024 election. California Democrats have been slammed for years for allowing the state to suffer crime problems, homelessness, and other issues that may be turning once-nice cities into Democrat dumps.
