SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE OF THIS – FROM FOX:    The now-former spokesman for District of Columbia Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser told Fox News on Wednesday that President Biden's tenure in office has led him to change party affiliation and also to vote for GOP businessman Glenn Youngkin in the off-year gubernatorial election in Virginia, where he resides.  Victor Jimenez told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that his political shift was not a small decision, adding that he was until recently the "lead public information officer at [Bowser's] office for community affairs" and previously in a similar role for Latino outreach.  Jimenez, who is an Afro-Dominican immigrant according to a tweet from the DC Office of Latino Affairs, previously told Spanish-language network Telemundo that "Biden turned me into a Republican" and that the president has "destroyed the economy."  After host Tucker Carlson played that aforementioned clip, Jimenez said he stands by his decision to leave the Democratic Party and essentially oppose the controlling party in the nation's capital -- where there has not been a Republican mayor since 1900 when Henry B.F. McFarland was elected under DC's former commissioner-led system of governance.  "The reason I switched parties is because of everything that’s going on in the country right now. We see immigration through the roof right now and that is affecting a lot of Hispanic families in my home state of Virginia," Jimenez said. "And those are people who are already struggling with making ends meet."  The recent Virginia election showed a dramatic shift to the right among Hispanics.  Indeed, incoming Governor Glenn Youngkin actually carried the Hispanic vote, virtually unheard of for a Republican.  But the mainstream media chose not to notice.
