Veronica Escobar U.S. House of Representatives from Texas's 16th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Rep. Veronica Escobar, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 16th district since 2019, recently shared her views on social media regarding current political issues. Known for succeeding Beto O'Rourke and previously serving on the El Paso County Commission, Escobar took to Twitter to express her opinions.
On March 4, 2025, Rep. Escobar commented on President Trump's economic policies. She stated that "President Trump promised Americans he would lower costs on ‘Day One.’ He made Americans believe electing him would begin a ‘golden age.’ Instead, his latest tariffs are the equivalent of a massive tax increase on hard-working Americans."
Later that day, at 18:00 UTC, she followed up with another tweet addressing an unspecified account by saying "Let’s give this account some credit guys. It's actually worse than he thought."
The following day, March 5, at 02:11 UTC, Escobar speculated about potential blame-shifting in political discourse with a rhetorical question: "Anyone wanna bet he's going to blame President Biden for the price of eggs?"
