Part 5/9:
Equally significant is the phenomenon of party switching. Over the past year, more than one million voters across 43 states have abandoned the Democrat Party to register as Republicans—an almost 2:1 ratio. Notable figures, including mayors, police officials, and state legislators, are making similar moves. For instance, Kentucky State Senator Robin Webb switched from Democrat to Republican, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams has distanced himself from the Democratic label.
This trend reflects a fundamental shift in voter allegiance, driven by economic, cultural, and policy disagreements with the Democratic Party. It underscores the reality that many Americans now see their interests better represented by Republicans—especially in suburbs and medium-sized counties from Denver to Atlanta.
