House Republicans hit the brakes on town halls after blowback over
Trump's cuts
A number of Republican lawmakers faced significant pushback in their
home districts over Trump and Elon Musk's slashing of the federal
government.
House Republicans are becoming weary and wary of in-person town hall
meetings after a number of lawmakers have faced hometown crowds angry
about the Trump administration's push to slash government programs and
staffing.
Party leaders suggest that if lawmakers feel the need to hold such
events, they do tele-town halls or at least vet attendees to avoid
scenes that become viral clips, according to GOP sources.
A GOP aide said House Republican leaders are urging lawmakers to stop
engaging in them altogether.
