Trib Live covered the story exclusively and had this to share:
Declaring that he feels disenfranchised by the Democratic Party, Westmoreland County Sheriff James Albert announced he changed his affiliation to Republican.
“It was a really difficult decision and I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I feel I stand for the ideals of the Republican Party platform more than the Democrats today,” Albert said.
Albert, 70, said he officially changed his party affiliation Monday.
“I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, but a conservative Democrat at that,” he said. “I’m pro-life, a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, a lifetime member of the NRA (National Rifle Association) and, today, I feel my ideals are closer to the Republican Party than Democrats.”
Vice President Mike Pence not too long ago gave sheriff James Albert a visit.
Maybe that helped changed his mind too.
Thank you, Pennsylvania! Honored to be with Sheriff James Albert, Chief Bob Stafford and the Greensburg Police Department! I am proud to stand with our men and women of law enforcement! #CopsForTrump pic.twitter.com/nVpPnzmZFG

Pennsylvania Sheriff Switches to GOP: 'The Democratic Party Has Left Me'
He’s right this isn’t your grandparent’s democrat party. They no longer represent blue collar hardworking Americans… https://t.co/PoUEeb9c4p

Breitbart stayed busy and covered the reason why Albert left the Democratic Party:
“I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, but a conservative Democrat at that,” he added. “I’m pro-life, a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, a lifetime member of the NRA (National Rifle Association) and, today, I feel my ideals are closer to the Republican Party than Democrats.”
Albert, who was elected sheriff last year, switched over to the Republican Party on Monday.
“I was saddened and enraged by the murder of David Dorn, a 77-year-old African American retired police captain, who was shot by a pawn shop looter during a protest in St. Louis,” the law enforcement official explained. “These outrageous, lawless acts have been met with silence, acquiescence and, in some instances, outright support from the local, state and national leadership of the Democratic Party.”
“As a lifelong public servant and member of law enforcement, I have not left the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party has left me,” he added.
As we get closer to November expect more Democrats to come on over to the Republican party.
The Democratic Party is no longer the same party that President Kennedy represented.
