Democrat Policies (Executive Session)

The Senate held an executive session under the topic of Democrat policies, in which Republicans spoke about the record of the current Republican majority. Sen. Thune said the majority has delivered lower taxes for families, a more secure border, lower prescription drug costs, and more affordable home ownership over the past two years, and framed Democrats as opposing these efforts and seeking to apply California-style policies nationally, citing that state’s high taxes, energy regulations, and cost of living. No statements from Democratic members appear in the available record.Written by AI from the debate. Updated 2026-10-17.
