RNC Warns Democrats After DSA Co-Chair Fails to Detail Millionaire Tax Rates, as $15 Million Push Builds

Summary
RNC spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre said Democrats risk political damage after DSA co-chair Megan Romer could not name a tax rate, income cutoff or wealth threshold for the group’s call to “tax the hell out of millionaires.”
On The New Yorker Radio Hour, Romer said she lacked a “solid” answer when pressed by editor David Remnick, then argued tax policy should be built from spending needs and the revenue required to fund them.
The DSA’s 2026 program likewise calls for “aggressive wealth taxes” on rich individuals and corporations without specifying rates or defining who would be covered.
The clash lands as DSA-backed or progressive-aligned candidates notch primary wins, sharpening pressure on Democrats over how closely to embrace the movement before November.
Third Way on Friday pledged $15 million through 2028 for research, polling, social media and outreach aimed at curbing DSA influence inside the Democratic Party.
