Texas Judge Who Left GOP Tells CNN: Ted Cruz 'Absolutely' a Factor
by Matt Wilstein
The Republican judge running for reelection in Texas' Bexar County joined CNN's Brooke Baldwin Tuesday afternoon to elaborate on his decision to leave the GOP and become a Democrat. Carlo Key did not hesitate to admit that the presence of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the Republican Party was "absolutely" a factor in his switch.
“I would say honestly, it’s not to a politician’s best interest to run as a Democrat down here,” Key said. “But, you know, unfortunately I felt like that is what I had to do. This is a personal decision. Anyone that says I’m doing that to gain advantage doesn’t know very much about political history down here in Texas.”
