Democrats hear out pissed-off voters while Republicans ghost them

When Congress is in session, lawmakers don’t have much time to connect with their constituents. So you’d think they’d use this two-week recess to actually show up, listen, and maybe learn something.

But not Republicans.

They’re ghosting their constituents—still. They realize that their voters are furious over the wrecking ball that President Donald Trump and co-president Elon Musk have taken to the federal government, with full GOP support. So rather than facing the backlash, Republicans are ducking for cover.

According to NBC News, Republicans are still taking cues from National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Richard Hudson, who previously advised members to skip in-person town halls.
