Gloria Romero, who served as the state Senate majority leader for three years during her over ten years in office, announced on Wednesday that she believes the Democratic Party has strayed from its principles. &#8220;It&#8217;s alarming to witness how language has changed to the point where, as a feminist and former professor, I would be criticized for asserting my ability to define a woman and differentiate between biological sex and gender identity,&#8221; Romero stated, according to Fox News. &#8220;As a mother, I refuse to identify myself as a &#8216;birthing person,'&#8221; she added. &#8220;Today, I say &#8216;Goodbye \u2013 adios&#8217; \u2014 I&#8217;ve had enough.

Additionally, she criticized what she termed the Democratic Party&#8217;s misguided green agenda: &#8220;[A]s a Latina, I will not give up my gas stove; you can&#8217;t toast a tortilla on an electric range,&#8221; she quipped.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Romero remarked that under Donald Trump&#8217;s leadership, the GOP has emerged as an advocate for working-class individuals and is more inclusive than ever before. She also indicated her support for Trump in upcoming elections. Furthermore, Romero noted that Democrats are failing to represent their fundamental constituencies: \u201cMy greatest disagreement with my former party revolves around school choice and educational freedom\u2014ensuring quality education for all children\u2014especially those from low-income or minority backgrounds stuck in failing schools,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Republican state Senator Brian W. Jones commented on this trend by stating that \u201cThe pendulum is swinging in California \u2014 soaring prices, rising crime rates, and unprecedented homelessness are direct consequences of ineffective governance.\u201d Last month marked another significant shift when state Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil switched parties from Democrat to Republican\u2014a historic move not seen in 80 years among sitting lawmakers according to records from the California State Library. Alvarado-Gil described her former party as \u201cunrecognizable\u201d and lacking commitment toward addressing pressing issues within California: \u201cI cannot support a party that ignores public sentiment and dismisses core American values upheld by my community,\u201d she asserted<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2337857,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gloria-and-larry.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32319,40301,40302,5894],"class_list":["post-2337856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-donald-trump","tag-gloria-romero","tag-party-shift","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gloria-and-larry.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2337856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
