Dec 27, 2024, 07:08 PM
Florida State Representative Hillary Cassel, representing Broward County, has announced her switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, marking her as the second Democrat in the Florida House to make such a move ahead of the 2025 legislative session. Cassel cited her dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party's stance on Israel and its tolerance for extreme progressive voices as reasons for her decision. She expressed a belief in the Republican vision for a more prosperous Florida and praised the GOP's focus on empowering members to address real issues facing Floridians. With Cassel's switch, Republicans now hold 87 seats in the Florida House, representing 73% of the House, compared to the Democrats' 33 seats, further solidifying their supermajority.
