Calif. state lawmaker leaves GOP, blasts Trump

A recently reelected state lawmaker in California announced Thursday that he is leaving the Republican Party to become a Democrat, citing President Trump and GOP leadership for his decision.

Assemblyman Brian Maienschein said he has been moving away from the party since he was first elected in 2012 to represent the 77th District in the California Assembly, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Surrounded by Democrats in Sacramento, Maienschein said he differs with the GOP on key issues such as immigration, health care, gun control, abortion and gay rights.

"Donald Trump has led our party to the extreme on issues that divide our country," he said.
