Celebs You Won’t Believe Switched Parties Overnight

Ronald Reagan started his career as a Hollywood actor and initially identified with the Democratic party, even admiring Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, he grew concerned about the Democrats’ increasing government spending and taxes. In 1962, he switched to the Republican party, famously saying they had changed, not him. This change in political affiliation led to his election as Governor of California and ultimately to the Presidency. After years of supporting more liberal ideas, he became a leading figure in the modern conservative movement.
