Democrats targeting toss-up districts in town hall tour

[Dulcinea]

(NewsNation) — As Democrats try to work their way out of the political wilderness and find a message that resonates with voters, some marquee names in the Democratic Party are holding town halls with Americans around the country.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — the former candidate for vice president — held three town halls in the past week in Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Starting Thursday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will join Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on his “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” tour in Nevada, Arizona and Colorado.

The press release from the Sanders team says the tour is targeting districts narrowly won by Republicans in 2024, “serving as a pressure campaign to force vulnerable congresspeople to vote against any cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition, education and other basic needs to pay for more tax breaks for the richest people in this country.”

1. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego is holding town halls in red areas of the state talking about veterans.

Given that he is one, there's a lot to talk about. And he's getting a strong response.

4. How about "R" politicians are seriously defective. They can't even think for themselves.

All they can think of doing is saying they support Trump's agenda.

They need to be replaced ASAP.

5. How about some questions: "Which people should possess 99% of America's wealth"?

Which people should have access to affordable health care?
Which people should have access to decent affordable housing?
Which people should pay the highest tax rate?

Fewer lectures (typical campaign speeches).
