Rep. Diana Harshbarger, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Tennessee’s 1st district since 2021, recently shared her views on social media regarding political dynamics and border policies under the leadership of President Trump. Harshbarger has been vocal in her support for Trump's policies and critical of Democratic opposition.

On March 5, 2025, Harshbarger tweeted about the Democratic Party's efforts to oppose what she perceives as a mandate from the American people. She stated, "The Democrats can holler from the hill tops all they want. They can't drown out the mandate given by the American people."

In another tweet posted shortly after, Harshbarger expressed support for former President Trump, stating that he is reintroducing common sense into governance. She criticized her colleagues across the aisle for their behavior during an unspecified event that evening: "President Trump is bringing back common sense. Clearly, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle didn't get the memo based on their ridiculous behavior so far tonight."

Further emphasizing Trump's impact on immigration policy, Harshbarger claimed that illegal border crossings are at historic lows due to his leadership. She attributed this success to decisive action and rhetoric: "'They heard my words, and they chose not to come.' Illegal border crossings are at historic lows because of President Trump's leadership."
