A local South Carolina council member is ditching the Democratic Party and running for reelection as a Republican.
"Some things that I had looked at, I just don't agree with any longer," Dorchester County council member Harriet Holman told "Fox & Friends First" on Wednesday.
"One of the things was that I am just totally pro-life, and I am by for capitalism, I am for funding the police. Those things are what made me make my final decision," she told host Todd Piro.
The retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel said she believes Republicans will grow their numbers in African-American communities.

I hope this switch is authentic. Probably see the red wave coming.
I think a lot of people are waking up.
The low IQ demon should repent and shut up. Shows up wanting to be a leader. More nerve than a bum tooth.
Let’s hope so.
Good for her!
I quit celebrating these democrat to republican transitions years ago. It looks good initially, but always comes back to bite us. The Republican Party is too democrat like already.
Yeah, I wouldn’t trust her at all.
“I just don’t agree with [Democrat positions] any longer”
This is great news...BUT, what took her so long to wake up? The evil Democrat positions regarding abortion have been constant for decades and “defunding the police” for at least two years.
This switch is not authentic in any way shape or form.
“We’re born into our families, and we kind of take on the trait of what our families are, and my parents were Democrats,” she explained.
So it took a college educated, almost guaranteed she has Masters, this long to figure it out? She didn’t figure it out last year when cities were being burned to the ground and folks were getting killed?
How old is she? Depending on when she retired, she’s at least in her mid-40s and all of a sudden she’s had this revelation ?
Simple, go through her history and see where she’s made pro-life statements. See where she’s made pro-police statements.
She can show a history of that, maybe. She can’t, she’s lying.
Once a rat, always a rat. C’mon, man!
God if we could just get two senators. Then we could give them Linda.
I am going to wish for the best. I hope she feels welcome as a Republican and her views become even more conservative with time.
Better late than never. Wouldn’t want to wake up next to her.
If this was in congress it would be noteworthy
a little good news. to paraphrase the great RR, trust but let the people verify. i hope the gop party bosses there doesn’t freeze her out just because she switched parties.
i remind some here that both the great RR and DJT were former democrats. they did far more for republican voters in the last half century than any gop party establishment type has done from nixon onwards.
When I hear accounts like this, I hope for the best but do not count on anything.
I prefer a wait and see attitude.
It could be genuine, even if it did take her a while to get there.
But maybe not.
Honestly all we are doing is inheriting a RINO! Todays democraps are not like the Reagan types. If she really was this all along, why the hell did she run as a democrap?
Wasn’t Ronald Reagan a Democrat initially? I think people can change.
