House Republican campaign chief advises members to avoid in-person town halls

House Republicans are being encouraged to stop holding in-person town halls as protests continue to erupt across the country over federal worker layoffs, possible Medicaid cuts, and President Donald Trump‘s executive orders.

During the GOP’s weekly conference, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) told members that they should cease holding in-person town halls because they should no longer give activists and Democratic operatives a platform, multiple sources in the room confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
