ICYMI: Johnson turns Democrats’ socialist civil war into new weapon for midterms
August 10, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Speaker Mike Johnson has unveiled a new website, ContrastForAmerica.com, highlighting the stark contrast between House Republicans and Democrats leading up to the 2026 Midterms. The site highlights the contrast between common sense and crazy when it comes to policies and candidates, and describes the cost of communism as many Democrats embrace the socialist far-left.
“The 2026 midterms presents a clear contrast for America between common sense and crazy. House Republicans have delivered working families tax cuts to put more money in your pocket, a secure border, safer streets, American energy dominance, an end to woke indoctrination for our kids, and renewed American strength abroad. Meanwhile, Democrats have surrendered to the socialist and communist far-left that wants to abolish borders, defund police, abolish prisons, raise your taxes, and shred our Constitution, leaving America less safe, less prosperous, and less free,” said Speaker Johnson. “Communism has led to the deaths of tens of millions of people, and in this midterm, we will make sure it is once again relegated to the ash heap of history. By highlighting this decisive contrast for America and our common sense polices and America first candidates, House Republicans are ready to defy history and win the midterms.”
Speaker Johnson will continue to highlight the contrast throughout his August campaign swing that will include more than 30 Districts and cities across 18 states.

Fox News: Johnson turns Democrats’ socialist civil war into new weapon for midterms
House Republicans have adopted a new weapon on the campaign trail as they fight to keep control of Congress for the latter half of President Donald Trump's term — using Democrats' own intraparty civil war against them.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is unveiling a website on Monday that will highlight the contrast between what he calls "common sense and crazy."
The name for the new initiative is "Contrast for America," a play on the Newt Gingrich-led "Contract with America" GOP policy platform used during the 1994 midterm election.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for. It must be protected. It has to be taught, passed along to the next generation. Thirty-five years ago, Republicans and Democrats in Congress, they were fighting communism on a distant shore. Now it's here," Johnson says in the video.
The website also includes a timeline of failed communist governments throughout the world, followed by dueling lists that show what Republicans are running on versus what Democrats' far-left insurgency is pushing.
It comes as candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) surge to the top of Democratic primaries across the United States, even toppling establishment and progressive incumbents in places like Colorado and New York.

Among the DSA's policy goals are abolishing the Senate, police, and the prison system, extending voting rights to noncitizen permanent residents, and establishing public ownership of large corporations.
DSA candidates have also called for abolishing the nation's borders and granting mass amnesty to people in the U.S. illegally.
It's a message Johnson has made on the campaign trail already as he's campaigned in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, with plans to hit a total of 30 districts across 18 states.
