Rep. Eric Swalwell outlined a proposed campaign message for Democrats in 2025 that he said would focus on accountability for companies and individuals who have engaged in business dealings with President Donald Trump.
Swalwell described the idea as part of a broader strategy aimed at signaling how Democrats would approach oversight if they regain congressional authority, particularly the ability to issue subpoenas.
“I suggested to our leadership, and it’s been well received that we need to have a campaign called We won’t forget it, or it will all come out,” Swalwell said.
He said the messaging would be directed toward a wide range of entities, including corporations and institutions that have entered into agreements involving Trump.
“That’s the message that we send to the colleges, to the law firms, to the entertainment giants, all these companies and individuals who have done these drug deals with Donald Trump,” Swalwell said.
Swalwell indicated that the proposed campaign would emphasize the use of investigative tools available to Congress.
“We need to make it clear as a Democratic caucus that when we have the subpoena power, it’ll all come out,” he said.
He also addressed what he described as the expectations of those engaging in such deals, arguing that some may believe they will not face consequences.
