Black Democrat Delegate Rejects Democrats, Will Join GOP and Vote for Trump
A former Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegate released a video Friday declaring her rejection of the Democratic Party as she crossed the political aisle.
Audrey McNeal, a 22-year-old woman who previously was a DNC delegate for both 2020 and 2024 elections, revealed on X she will be voting for the Trump-Vance ticket as she has joined the Republican Party.
“In 2020, I was elected at 18 to become one of the youngest delegates to the Democratic National Convention on behalf of my district. And in 2024, I was elected again to return to the DNC as a delegate,” McNeal said. “But this year, I’m casting my ballot for Donald Trump.”

McNeal said she was elected in March and wanted to go to the DNC to seek answers on free speech, the border and the economy. The former DNC delegate explained that she became disillusioned after attending the DNC.
“After reflecting on my time at the DNC, I realized it was no longer the party of free speech and civil liberties that it used to be,” McNeal said.
“In fact, Patrick Henry once said that the liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them,” she added.
President Joe Biden endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris immediately after dropping his reelection bid July 21. Despite prominent Democrats like former President Barack Obama initially suggesting an open primary system be used to determine the party’s replacement candidate, Democratic leaders eventually decided to skip the democratic process and place Harris at the top of their 2024 ticket.
“For the rulers of the Democratic Party elite to install Kamala Harris as the presidential nominee via stripping the vote of 14 million Americans, including their own delegates such as myself, well that was a decision in a transaction that was concealed,” McNeal said.
“And now I’m happy to say that in officially joining the Republican Party as a constitutional conservative,” the former DNC delegate announced.
Before she denounced the Democratic Party, McNeal told GPB in August that it was “empowering” to be among other young delegates at the DNC.
“We all have a common experience coming to the DNC, being really young, having very passionate dreams that we want to see and kind of just being there for each other when it comes to, like, supporting each other’s campaigns or going to caucus events together,” the former DNC delegate said at the time.
McNeal made a new X account in October since joining the Republican Party.
Her first post Saturday quote-tweeted a clip teasing Trump’s podcast interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“‘It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.’ – Louis Brandeis, US Supreme Court Justice,” McNeal wrote with the video.
