Donald Trump leaves Republican party
Donald Trump is declaring his independence, the Los Angeles Times states.
After years as a registered Republican, the outspoken real estate mogul has filed paperwork to become an unaffiliated voter in his home state of New York.
Trump made the change official Thursday, a move prompted by his stated interest in mounting a third-party presidential run in 2012.
According to Politico, which first reported Trump's party switch, he will still be able to vote in the New York presidential primary in April. Trump had once been a registered Democrat.
