Former DC mayor spokesman switches parties over Biden presidency, voted for Youngkin
Fox News
A now-former spokesman for District of Columbia Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser told Fox News on Wednesday that President Biden's tenure in office has led him to change party affiliation.
Jimenez, who is an Afro-Dominican immigrant according to a tweet from the DC Office of Latino Affairs, previously told Spanish-language network Telemundo that "Biden turned me into a Republican" and that the president has "destroyed the economy."
After host Tucker Carlson played that aforementioned clip, Jimenez said he stands by his decision to leave the Democratic Party and essentially oppose the controlling party in the nation's capital -- where there has not been a Republican mayor since 1900 when Henry B.F. McFarland was elected under DC's former commissioner-led system of governance.
