Trump Claims Communism Is ‘Greatest Threat’ to U.S.
- According to a July 20 polling memo, Republican campaign strategists are deploying "Communism" as a primary epithet against Democratic rivals for the 2026 midterms, with the conservative firm co/efficient drafting the advice for House Republican Conference members.
- President Donald Trump has increasingly focused on the "communist menace" in recent speeches, including a July 3 Mount Rushmore address where he vowed to "vanquish Communism quickly" and send adherents "into exile."

- Republicans label Democratic Socialists of America members like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani as radicals, though Mamdani and other DSA candidates clarify they do not support the full party platform or revolutionary goals.
- Three and a half decades after the Cold War's collapse, the campaign explicitly aims to transform the 2026 midterms into a "hate election" by reviving the paranoid political stylings of Joe McCarthy.
