WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) today joined America’s Newsroom on Fox News: On Democrats embracing socialism: “The progressive wing of [the Democrat] party, the liberal far-left wing, is ascendant in the in politics right now … But when you got the DSA and people out there advocating openly for those types of policies, I think the American people are going to say a big fat no to that come November, Bill … This is a clear contrast … elections are about differences, and the choices couldn’t be more clear.” On Republicans’ agenda: “If you look at the policies when it comes to taxes and regulations and energy and all the things that Republicans are delivering on for the American people, our goal and objective is to have more money in people’s pockets, and they will as a result of the policies we put in place.” On the SAVE America Act: “We’ve had five votes on it already … We’ll figure out a way to get yet another vote on the SAVE America Act, but I don’t expect the Democrats to change their view. The issue here is all 47 Democrats, all five times we’ve voted on the SAVE America Act on the floor of the United States Senate, have voted no. “This is an issue about going after Democrats, making this an issue in the fall campaigns, and holding them accountable for being on the wrong side of an 80-20 issue with the American people. But we will try and set up a way to get more votes on that to put them on the record again … The fact of the matter is, you have block opposition from Democrats in the United States Senate when it comes to this issue, and that’s why it’s so important that we elect more Republicans to the Senate in November.” On Todd Blanche’s nomination: “We intend to vote on him before we leave, and I am hopeful and optimistic that we will get him confirmed.”
