Maybe he's running for as a centrist-conservative governor after Abbott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarSolo Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I wonder if we start seeing moves like this happen more often in other parts of the country in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Quote Johnson’s switch came as little shock to Dallas political observers, who said he has been signaling for some time his leaning toward the GOP — and his distancing from Democrats. "This is one of the worst kept secrets in the world of politics," said Vinny Minchillo, a Dallas-area Republican consultant. "This has been coming down for a long time." State Rep. John Bryant, a Dallas Democrat, took to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to quip about Johnson's announcement. “Switching parties? I didn’t know he was a Democrat,” Bryant wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
