Pizzo, who has been a part of the Florida Senate since 2018, made this announcement during a speech on the Senate floor, stating that "the Democratic Party in Florida is dead." He further revealed that he had submitted a voter registration form to change his party affiliation to "no party affiliation."
According to WND, Pizzo likened the current political climate in Florida to "the infighting, power struggles, corruption, and decline of civic virtue that pervaded and eventually ushered in the fall of Rome." He expressed his concern about the state of partisanship, stating, "So, too, are we players, or perhaps props, in the mess that is bottom partisanship. Our constituents are craving practical leaders, not political hacks."

Pizzo's departure from the Democratic Party is a clear indication of his disillusionment with its current state. He nostalgically referenced the party's past, saying, "The party my dad volunteered for with JFK when he was 18 years old in 1960 is not the party today. It craves and screams anarchy and then demands amnesty. That is not okay."

Following Pizzo's announcement, Florida State Sen. Lori Berman was elected as the new minority leader. Meanwhile, Nikki Fried, Chair of the Florida Democratic Party, responded to Pizzo's departure by stating that the party was "more united without him." She criticized Pizzo as one of the "most ineffective and unpopular Democratic leaders in recent memory," accusing him of disparaging the party base and pursuing personal ambitions over Democratic values.

Speculation has been rife for months that Pizzo might be considering a gubernatorial bid in 2026, aiming to succeed the incumbent Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Evan Power, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, commented on Pizzo's departure, saying, "Senator Pizzo didn’t leave the Democratic Party; the party left him." He noted that Pizzo is the third Florida Democrat to leave the party in recent months.

This trend of party-switching is not limited to Pizzo. In December, two Florida state representatives also announced their switch to the GOP, bolstering the Republicans' majority in the state House. Florida, once a fiercely contested swing state, has seen a shift towards the Republicans in recent years. President Donald Trump won the state in the last three presidential elections, with an increasing margin each time. In the 2024 presidential election, Trump won Pizzo's home county of Miami-Dade by 11 percentage points, marking a significant swing of 18 points and making him the first Republican to win the majority-Hispanic county since 1988.

Pizzo's departure from the Democratic Party and the increasing Republican dominance in Florida raise questions about the future political landscape of the state. As the political dynamics continue to evolve, the constituents' demand for practical leaders over political hacks, as voiced by Pizzo, remains a crucial factor to consider. Pizzo did not respond to requests for comment on his decision.
