Huynh, who once raised millions for the party, has now turned her back on it, citing its progressive politics as out of touch with reality.
According to Fox News, Huynh expressed her disillusionment with the party's approach, stating, "Well, I think liberals have just been too leftist, and they're just out of touch with reality. And I've talked about that before, and it sounds really nice and fine and really warm and fuzzy. The socialist dogma in San Francisco is we help everyone… And the reality is that when you help everyone, you help no one. And so, the liberal elites are out of touch with reality and living in a bubble with their rich Democratic donors."
Huynh further emphasized the need for a more pragmatic approach to governance, arguing that resources are limited and the focus should be on American citizens. "But the truth of the matter is that there are limited resources, and we cannot help everyone," she said. "We need to put Americans first. We need to put the citizen, taxpaying, legal citizens in San Francisco first. Just like on a plane in an emergency. The pilot says you need to put the oxygen mask on yourself first. Americans first before helping anyone else. And Democrats just don't understand us."

Her comments come in the wake of significant political shifts in California during the 2024 elections. Huynh noted the repeal of Proposition 47, which had reduced penalties for drug and theft crimes, as a clear sign of the electorate's changing attitudes. "I think the voters made their decision. And the truth is that we all know that crime is a big problem. Illegal immigration is a big problem. And it all feeds into the addiction and homeless problem," she said.

In a significant political upset, San Francisco's progressive Mayor London Breed was defeated by first-time candidate and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie. Lurie, who campaigned as a tough-on-crime alternative, represents a rejection of progressive politicians, according to Huynh. "It's a very low bar. Consider the politicians such as Kamala Harris, Chesa Boudin, London Breed, also the Oakland politicians Pamela Price and Mayor Sheng Thao, how they forget the citizens of the San Francisco Bay Area. They're very out of touch with the realities. And we need to focus on cleaning up the streets, making the streets safer. So I think people just wanted change with Daniel Lurie. And he has the name and he was seen, you know, kind of talking and walking the streets. And so that's a good sign," she said.

Huynh also pointed out that most of California outside the major cities leans conservative, with a notable increase in support for President-elect Donald Trump in the recent election cycle. "At the end of the day, we have to vote for our families. There's high crime, there's high taxes, high immigration issues, a cost of living, high homeless rates," she said.

Huynh, who switched her vote to Trump due to her disappointment with the Democratic Party, has even taken to fundraising for his campaign. She described San Francisco as a "science experiment that's gone awry," lamenting the decline of the city's quality of life. "I wake up in the morning, there's no grocery stores to go to, there's no malls to take my teenage girls shopping to. The streets are not safe, there are more fentanyl users and dealers than high school students in our once great city," she said. This shift in political allegiance underscores the growing dissatisfaction with progressive politics in California, a trend that may have far-reaching implications for future elections.
