More than 33,000 registered voters have left the California Republican Party since the Jan. 6 riots on Capitol Hill, underscoring the diminishing sway of the GOP in the Golden State.
Statistics from the California secretary of state’s office show the exodus from the California GOP was ongoing but appears to have accelerated after the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. Just over a thousand voters left the GOP on Jan. 5, while 3,243 left on Jan. 7.
The secretary of state’s data showed 33,448 registered Republicans in total left the party from Jan. 6-28. Meanwhile, the state Democratic Party shed just 19,420 voters from Jan. 6-Feb. 1, bolstering its already yawning advantage over the GOP.
The shift underscores the Republican Party’s dwindling strength in California, which has emerged as among the bluest states in the country.
