Learn about the wife and married life of the well-known communications and public affairs strategist Steve Schmidt.
No one anticipated that Steve Schmidt would switch from the party he dedicated his entire working life to, the Republicans, and side with its historic rival, the Democrats. But he surprised all of us, as recently he announced that he was registering as a Democratic party member.
However, Steve Schmidt's frustration with the Republican party was evident since he renounced the party in June 2018 as 'fully the party of Trump.' So Steve switching to the Democratic party seems reasonable; however, people may question his loyalty to the Republican party.
