The National Democratic Committee, which continues with the municipalities in the municipalities in the districts controlled by the Republicans, announces a new set of municipalities focused on the budget bill led by Republicans and with high profile officials such as Senator Cory Booker, Dn.JJ
These “town halls”, which will be carried out during the April two weeks of the Congress that begins next week, occur when the Democrats look for the hammer Republicans and the White House and communicate with the voters about economic concerns and affordability.
Democrats focus largely on a budget plan that President Donald Trump said he will help the priorities of his administration, including border security tax cuts and investments.
But that bill has been criticized by Democrats to potentially lead to cuts to key programs in which Americans trust, such as medical care or food assistance, during a moment of economic uncertainty.

“In red and blue communities, people are sick and tired that Donald Trump and Elon Musk destroy the economy, threaten medical care and social security, and worsen life for families,” said DNC president Ken Martin, in a statement.
“In April, we are doubling the main democratic voices that bind even more in the municipalities in the key districts of the whole country. Republicans still want to pretend that their voters do not exist, but we believe that Americans deserve to be heard their voice.”

Republicans have argued that the budget plan will not threaten and will not threaten any benefit or right, and Trump has said that their administration will not reduce or threaten the benefits of social security. Republicans have also rejected the claims that they are not hosts of the municipalities, saying that they continue to organize events in person or that they are listening to the voters by telephone and virtually. Some members have faced a fierce setback of the constituents in their events.
The municipalities of the Democratic Party during the recess will present figures of the High Profile Congress, including Booker, the Connecticut senator Chris Murphy, the representative of Arizona, Greg Stanton and the representative of Florida, Maxwell Frost, according to the DNC.
Booker received greater attention at the beginning of April after breaking a record of the Congress, speaking for more than 24 hours in a marathon speech on the Senate floor that protested by the national “crisis”, said President Donald Trump and the key advisor Elon Musk had created.

“The Democratic Party is weaker when worried about the party. It is stronger when worried about people, when it is bigger and broader than any narrow political analysis,” Booker “This Week” of ABC News, George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
The Democratic municipalities will take place during the recess on April 13 in the sixth district of Arizona, on April 22 in the 8th Pennsylvania district, on April 24 in the 8th Colorado District and the 9th North Carolina District, and on April 25 in the Second District of Missouri.
Two of those districts: Eighth of Pennsylvania, represented by representative Robert Bresnahan, and the eighth of Colorado, represented by the representative Gabe Evans, were turned by the Republicans in the 2024 elections.
The ninth North Carolina district is represented by the representative Richard Hudson, president of the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC). In March, Hudson encouraged the House Republicans to make more virtual events instead of municipalities in person, although the NRCC said this was a suggestion to help members reach more components.
The new lot of municipalities of the Democrats is also a joint effort between the DNC and two of its affiliates, the campaign committee of the Democratic Congress (DCCC) and the State Democratic Committees Association (ASDC).

“While vulnerable Republicans remain scared because they are voting to increase costs, gut Medicaid and threaten the livelihoods of working families, we will make sure voters know that they do not have to wait until the day of the elections to hold them responsible,” said the president of DCCC, Suzan Delbene, D-Wash., In a statement.
According to the DNC, those three arms of the party have organized 71 municipalities in 35 states and territories in the last three weeks, with tens of thousands of attendees in general.
