House Republicans are growing tired of facing angry constituents at town hall meetings due to the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts and staffing reductions. Party leaders are suggesting lawmakers hold tele-town halls or vet attendees to avoid negative interactions that could go viral. There is concern that these confrontations could impact the GOP’s chances of retaining their majority in the House next year. The tension is focused on billionaire Elon Musk, who is advising Trump without Senate confirmation. Despite the pushback, White House and party officials maintain that the majority of the public supports budget cuts. Lawmakers are hesitant to hold town halls in fear of potential confrontations, but some believe it could benefit them in Republican-heavy districts. Although the RNC is offering guidance on how to handle the situation, there is no official mandate to stop town halls altogether. Overall, there is a sense of trepidation among Republicans about facing voters in light of ongoing budget cuts and potential backlash.
