Republican congresswoman says Kennedy's Democratic Party has ceased to exist and calls for a vote on Tuesday

Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna, from Florida, stated in an interview with Fox Business's "The Big Weekend Show" that the current Democratic Party no longer has a relationship with John F. Kennedy's party. According to the parliamentarian, "Kennedy's Democratic Party no longer exists." The speech came as she defends her seat in the House of Representatives in the mid-term legislative elections, scheduled for Tuesday.

The conversation began with the unrest in Europe. According to the program, France mobilized 70,000 police officers to contain the violence, using tear gas and water cannons, and there are reports that the riots spread to eight cities. Luna expressed concern about the possibility of similar episodes coming to the United States. In her assessment, the American would support the distinction between peaceful protest and damage to other people's property.

The congresswoman also advocated that President Donald Trump, by executive order, require influencers who receive money from foreign governments to register as agents under the Foreign Agent Registration Act. According to her, anyone who is paid by a foreign government needs to declare this. Luna also defended that the Treasury Department freeze assets of people linked to coalitions that finance these protests and said that investigations are underway.

Financing of protests and political disputes

The debate was accompanied by a report from the channel about the financing behind demonstrations against ICE, the American immigration service. According to the program's presentation, part of the money would come from China and billionaires, which would be a threat of domestic terrorism. These statements are made by the channel and its interviewees, and the transcript does not contain documents that prove them.

Regarding the elections, the presenter cited a Power Rankings projection according to which Luna leads the race against the Democratic challenger Greg, which became more competitive than expected. The deputy said that, historically, in mid-term elections the electorate tends to move away from the party in power. He asked voters to remember the murder of Charlie Kirk, the murder of a Ukrainian immigrant on a train and the open border policies of Joe Biden's administration. He claimed to have visited ten thousand doors with his team and demanded turnout at the polls.

Left wing of the Democrats

The program also showed images of more than 50 radical left candidates who could win on Tuesday, including members of the group known as "The Block", which would seek to pressure the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to adopt a socialist agenda. Luna said that this group brings the radical left's view on the culture of political assassination and stated that the platform of these leaders includes abolishing the Senate, cutting resources from police forces and eliminating the Second Amendment. This is the deputy's assessment, without independent confirmation in the transcript.

For investors, the central message is one of political risk: the composition of Congress after Tuesday's vote will define the pace of debates on the budget, taxes and regulation, topics that usually affect the stock market, interest rates and the dollar. The program did not provide market figures or economic projections, and any effect on assets will depend on the results of the polls.

At the end, the conversation was lighter: asked about her favorite Halloween candy, Luna replied that she likes "candy corn".
