Popularity of town hall meetings among Republicans has surged, with at least a dozen town halls advertised by leading members of the party planned this recess. In contrast, President Trump only planned one such event over a 12-day break. Many leading Republicans have shirked holding public on-stage forums since the 2016 campaign. However, the high turnout in protest at town hall meetings featuring key House Republicans, Senate GOTA candidates and Cabinet secretaries is seen as a growing pressure on the party. There have been more than 85 events advertised for this recess by Republican congressmen, which lead to various debates over health care, immigration, foreign policy, and climate change. these topics may help Republicans reconnect with voters whom Trump failed to bring over to the party and are urging moderates to keep their distance.
