Rep Josh Gottheimer, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 5th District since 2017, voiced his opinions across several posts on social media. Born in Livingston, New Jersey, Gottheimer has been engaged in political leadership and legislative actions affecting his community and the nation. In his recent statements, he tackled issues concerning terrorism, leadership, and economic policy with a focus on New Jersey families and broader American interests.

On April 1, 2025, Gottheimer condemned the murder of Uday Al Rabay in Gaza, stating, "Brutal Hamas terrorists murdered Uday Al Rabay, a brave man in Gaza who dared to stand against terrorism. I won’t rest until all the hostages are brought home and we crush all the terrorists."

On April 2, 2025, he praised Sen. Cory Booker for his contributions, expressing that ".@SenBooker made history tonight — standing up for hardworking Jersey families, inspiring our communities, and fighting back against chaos. His dedication and perseverance prove what true leadership looks like. Proud to call him my friend and Senator."

Later that day, Gottheimer announced his plan to introduce new legislation addressing presidential authority over tariffs. He stated, "The President doesn’t have the power to wreak havoc on our economy with tariffs. They're essentially a new tax on families and small businesses. That’s why I’m introducing the Reclaiming Congressional Trade Authority Act — requiring the President to submit a clear strategy."
