Dallas Mayor Switches From Democrat To Republican Party

The Spin
Republican narrative
Johnson might as well change his political affiliation considering how much of his success as Dallas mayor has come through policies that are distinctly Republican — including being an advocate for law enforcement, creating a palatable environment for businesses, and focusing on infrastructure. Dallas is moving in the opposite direction from the crumbling Democrat-led cities that are imposing radical left policies.
Democratic narrative
What a betrayal of voters this is, and it’s a sneaky move by Johnson to wait until he was reelected to announce his new affiliation. Johnson’s switch, though, won’t change the fact that Dallas and the surrounding county are devoted Democrats who back Pres. Biden and what the party has to offer them.
