Hageman Warns 17% of Americans Are Very Proud of U.S. as Democrats' Pride Falls to 36%

Summary

  • 17% of American adults told Gallup they were "very proud" to be American in 2025, and Rep. Harriet Hageman used the record-low reading to urge a renewed defense of U.S. culture and identity.
  • 36% of Democrats said they were very proud of the country, down from 62% a year earlier, while Republicans were at 92% and independents at 53%, a seven-point drop.
  • Hageman blamed the decline on what she called Democratic efforts to recast U.S. history through slavery and the 1619 narrative, arguing that America has a shared culture worth preserving.
  • America's 250th Independence Day is central to her proposed remedy, with Hageman saying the anniversary can help restore patriotism by refocusing attention on the nation's founding and history.
