Tim Walz offers to host events in districts where GOP refuse to hold town halls

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.
