SWITCHING SIDES: Former Georgia lieutenant governor joins Democratic Party

From The Hill: Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan has joined the Democratic Party after falling out with the GOP, saying the switch has been coming for a while.

Duncan, in an op-ed published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday, said his journey to becoming a Democrat began well before President Trump tried to “steal” the 2020 presidential election, an effort Duncan denounced at the time.

“There’s no date on a calendar or line in the sand that points to the exact moment in time my political heart changed, but it has,” he said. “My decision was centered around my daily struggle to love my neighbor, as a Republican.”


Duncan said he was dissatisfied with Republicans over their handling of health care, Medicaid, support for poor people, gun control, and immigration, adding that he’s learned the best way to “love my neighbor” is through public policy.
