WASHINGTON ― Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is headed to Nashville, Tennessee, this weekend for a town hall focused on protecting Medicaid, joining other prominent Democrats fanning out in Republican-held districts across the country to protest the GOP’s legislative plans.

Warren will join the Tennessee Democratic Party, which is hosting the town hall on Saturday, to “fight back against Republicans’ dangerous agenda to put billionaires over working people’s health care,” per an invitation obtained exclusively by HuffPost.

“While Elon Musk wields a chainsaw in Washington and a Republican-controlled Congress prepares to give tax breaks for billionaires, a town hall gives people the chance to come together, share their stories, and voice their concerns,” Warren said in a statement. “Cutting health care for new mothers on Medicaid and threatening Social Security benefits while funding tax cuts for the rich is recipe for disaster. The people of Tennessee deserve to be heard in this powerfully important moment,” she added.

The event is also aimed at putting some pressure on far-right Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), whose district lies just outside Nashville. Ogles has refused to hold town halls and recently introduced a far-fetched amendment to the Constitution that would allow President Donald Trump to seek a third term in office.
