Two North Carolina legislators are leaving the Democratic Party to become unaffiliated after facing scrutiny for not sufficiently supporting the party’s agenda.
State Reps. Carla Cunningham and Nasif Majeed, both of Mecklenburg County, announced in recent days that they are leaving the Democratic Party. Cunningham has served in the state House of Representatives for about 14 years and Majeed has served for eight years.
Their moves come about a month after losing primary elections to Democratic challengers who attacked Cunningham and Majeed for occasionally voting with Republicans to override vetoes by Democratic Gov. Josh Stein and, before him, by former Gov. Roy Cooper. Cunningham lost to Charlotte pastor Rodney Sadler in the Democratic primary. Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, a consultant with a public health background. Both challengers won with about 69% of the vote.
In a statement on Friday, Cunningham said she was leaving the Democratic Party after facing “a troubling wave of hostility from individuals outside of District 106, fueled by the actions of the NC Governor and the North Carolina Democratic Party.” Stein endorsed Sadler in the primary.
“I have been a Democrat all my life, but I came to realize that I want to serve the people; not a party. Being an independent thinker does not align with party politics, and I will never compromise the needs of my constituents to satisfy a political agenda,” Cunningham said.
Majeed issued a similar statement Monday, alleging that his political opponents misled voters about his record. “I have witnessed and experienced actions within the political landscape that I believe could be perceived as misleading or inconsistent with the spirit of fair elections. I cannot, in good conscience, remain aligned where those concerns are not adequately addressed,” he said.

Liars
A few “little” are beginning to show across the country. Whatever could it mean...
Just what we need;
Two Libtards turning into RINOs....
The democratic Party REQUIRES 100% conformity with their radical, far-left agenda and policies. 99% is just not good enough.
*A few “little” shifts...
All Carla did was vote yes to help ICE get illegals out of NC. In fact, thats probably what her constituency wants her to do.
Nasif Majeed
Yea that sounds mainstream...NYC
