Florida state Sen. Jason Pizzo, D-Fla., explains why he is quitting the Democratic Party on 'The Story.'

Florida Senate Minority Leader Jason Pizzo further elaborated during a recent interview on why he formally left the Democratic Party this week, arguing the party lacks “direction” and has no “purpose” on how to deliver results for constituents.
