Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) offered to host town halls in districts where Republicans are now refusing to hold them.
“That’s a shame,” Walz said, responding to the GOP news. “If your Republican representative won’t meet with you because their agenda is so unpopular, maybe a Democrat will.”
“Hell, maybe I will,” he continued in a post on social platform X. “If you congressman refuses to meet, I’ll come host an event in their district to help local Democrats beat ‘em.”
National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) advised House Republicans to avoid in-person town halls with constituents and instead to host phone or livestreamed events.
GOP lawmakers say the disruptions are stemming from Democrats and Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have suggested that they “paid ‘troublemakers,’” who were looking to go viral.

this is the slow, methodical, and people-focused approach that will win gains in DC. I don’t know whether these efforts will end with Waltz as president but this approach is the way you start to rebuild after 2024.
Is that really wise? Yeah these people are mad at Trump but I guarantee you they hate Democrats more.
Republicans believe Tim Walz is a child rapist. That’s the mainstream belief over there. Just because he supported an lgbt+ club at the high school he coached football at…
Do it.
This is amazing and exactly what Dems should be doing. Bring some Democratic influencers as well to make it more mainstream. MSNBC should be covering this as well
Hell yeah, do it.
Always my goat, idc what this sub says after the election led to them turning their knives on him.
We should also hold Democrat cookouts with free beer in the competitive districts. Don’t even talk politics there – just lay the groundwork for us to be seen as regular people again.
