House Republicans say they plan to keep holding town halls amid a nationwide burst of anger at President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk .

The comparisons between town halls in Georgia and Wisconsin went viral.

In both 2009 and 2017 , raucous town halls focused on the unpopular legislative agenda of the party in power were forerunners of a massive midterms backlash.

Republicans are somewhat hopeful the anti-DOGE furor will die down, arguing the public polling on Musk ’s project to slash government spending is mixed so far.

Republicans know they can’t simply refuse to show their faces in their districts, particularly if they want to have any chance of successfully selling the work of DOGE and their still-developing tax cuts.
