North Carolina State Representative Tricia Cotham announced that she has switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, giving the GOP a veto-proof majority in the state House. Cotham, a former teacher and assistant principal who had served in the House for nearly 10 years through 2016 before returning in January, announced her decision at a news conference at North Carolina Republican Party headquarters.
Cotham cited her disillusionment with the modern-day Democratic Party, claiming they bully and cast aside those who do not follow their agenda. Her decision was met with celebration from North Carolina GOP leaders but criticism from Democrats, who called for her resignation.
