OFFICIAL RELEASE · ORIGINAL ISSUER HEADLINE
Thune: Today’s Democrat Party Is the Proud Home of Socialism
Issuer publication date: September 23, 2026
Added to The State & Nation: October 15, 2026
What this means
Senate Majority Leader John Thune delivered floor remarks on September 23, 2026 criticizing the Democratic Socialists of America and its influence within the Democratic Party. He discussed the organization’s positions on public services, policing, immigration enforcement and federal institutions, arguing that they would enlarge government control and undermine public safety and constitutional safeguards. Those characterizations and predicted effects are Thune’s political arguments; the release records a speech, not a vote or newly enacted policy.
