"This former Republican Congressman, former Republican candidate for President, this former TEA Party champion is formally joining the Democratic Party, announced Walsh in a blog post. The stakes are simply too high to NOT become a Democrat. He continued, I want to help Democrats win. And to win, Democrats must fight. I mean really fight. I'll say it one more time: Democrats must FIGHT."
"I know I've only been a Democrat for 3 plus months, so if I'm overstepping my bounds here I apologize, but damn the leadership of my new party just doesn't fucking understand the threat and isn't fucking meeting this moment, wrote Walsh in a social media post. If you can't relish fighting a fascist, then go home."
Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh officially joined the Democratic Party after previously leaving the GOP in 2020 and endorsing Joe Biden. Walsh criticized Democratic leadership for failing to recognize and confront the threat posed by President Donald Trump, saying leaders are not meeting the moment and urging members to relish fighting what he called fascism. He reacted to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' statement about a strongly-worded letter to Trump. Walsh emphasized Democrats must fight to win, argued the party should accommodate a broad ideological range including socialists and conservative Democrats, and said the stakes are too high not to change affiliation.
