Rep. Don Beyer, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Virginia's 8th district since 2015, shared his perspectives on recent political developments through a series of tweets. Beyer, born in Trieste and currently residing in Alexandria, took to social media to address issues concerning tax cuts, gender representation in politics, and economic policies.

On December 9, 2024, Rep. Don Beyer questioned upcoming tax policy changes with a tweet: "Relatedly, guess whose taxes Trump and the Republicans are about to cut?" This comment suggests skepticism regarding the beneficiaries of proposed tax cuts by former President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers.

In another tweet dated December 10, 2024, Beyer addressed gender representation within political leadership: "Women make up more than half of the population of this country but House Republicans didn't elect a single one to lead a House committee." He highlighted the absence of female leadership among House committees led by Republicans.

Later that day, on December 10, 2024, Beyer commented on potential economic implications of tariffs proposed by Donald Trump: "Whether Trump 'guarantees' it or not, the truth is that the tariffs he is threatening WILL raise prices for the American people. That's just a fact." This statement underscores his concern over possible price increases due to tariff policies.
