‘Americans Rejected EVERYTHING the Democrats Stand For’: Byron Donalds [WATCH]

Rep. Byron Donalds said the Democratic Party is struggling to redefine itself after voters rejected its positions on immigration, border security, inflation, and social issues, arguing that any attempt at rebranding fails to address what he described as fundamental policy failures.

Speaking about recent Democratic messaging efforts, Donalds questioned whether a meaningful shift is even possible given what he said are the party’s long-standing policy positions.

“Where is the rebrand? Here am I missing it? I have no idea what they’re going to do, because everything that the Democrats stand for is what the American people have soundly rejected,” Donalds said.

Donalds said immigration and border security remain central issues for voters, arguing that Democratic policies have led to chaos at the southern border and empowered criminal organizations.

“They stand for open borders. The American people rejected it. They stand for rampant illegal immigration. They stand for criminal illegals coming into our country. They stand for the drug cartels having control of our southern borders,” he said.

He also pointed to economic concerns, saying Democrats are responsible for inflation that has strained household budgets across the country.

Donalds tied those economic conditions directly to policies supported by Democrats under Joe Biden.

“And last but not least, they stood for the inflation that crippled so many American families,” Donalds said.

“That was Democrats that voted for Joe Biden’s economic plan, which led to higher inflation for the American people, a stagnant economy, wages adjusted for inflation, were down, and they’re going to rebrand themselves.”

Donalds said voters are also paying attention to social policy debates, including those involving transgender issues and athletics, which he described as out of step with public opinion.

“I didn’t even get into the crazy social agendas around transgenderism and boys and women’s sports,” he said.

“That’s what they stand for. Those are the policies they want to go back to.”

He questioned what Democrats could realistically change if they attempt to repackage their message without altering their underlying positions.

“So what’s the rebrand going to do? Are they going to get more crazy?” Donalds asked.

“They’re going to follow Zorhan Mamdani I don’t think that’s going to work for the American people.”

Donalds said voters are focused on practical outcomes rather than messaging, emphasizing economic stability and personal prosperity.

“Americans want sound borders. They want a sound economy. They want prices to be stable and to lower. They want more money in their pocket,” he said. “They really want to thrive. They want the American dream.”

According to Donalds, Democrats have consistently opposed or undermined those priorities through their policy choices.

“Democrats don’t stand for that,” he said.

“Look at the policy sets.”

He argued that changes in party leadership or public-facing figures would not alter the results if the policies remain the same.

“You could put AOC or somebody else out in front, but it’s the same policies,” Donalds said.

“Which means it’s going to be destructive of America.”
