Davenport, Ajova (AP)-The people were delighted with the old man in Gallego on Saturday at the eastern meeting of Ajova Town Hall, when the first Arizona Democrat attacked a huge, Republican-backed tax law signed by President Donald Trump as probably “America to make inferior and heavier.”
The Gallego optimistic event struck the opposite tone from rep. Mike Flood City Hall meeting earlier week, when an even larger crowd invited the Nebraska Republican most of the 90 minutes in his state to raise the account.
Democrats looking for months after last year’s election defeat to contradict the aggressive tone, which the Trump struck at his second term in the White House, this month has taken the offensive, still united for their disappointment, but suddenly gained full resistance to his own laws.
“I think this bill helps Democrats to see clearly what is arising from the future of American protection,” said Pete Wernimont of Waterloo, who drove 140 miles (225 kilometers) to see Gallego. “I hope they will be there when it really matters after a year.”
While some Republicans in safe Republican districts encourage the crowds to sell Trump’s laws, most Congressor’s GOP leaders’ proposal to maintain lower public profiles, especially marked during the August break, after Last month, Trump signed a tax reduction and expenditure reduction account.
Democratic activists come together to draw attention to what they see as a means of political obligations to republicans trying to hold a narrow majority in Congress in the mid -year elections.
“This is a galvanizing moment that is happening because Democrats now understand, we are people who are fighting for the middle class and the American workers’ class,” Gallego told reporters before the event on Saturday. “This is a clear moment for us.”
For two hours, the audience of about 300 people applauded and sometimes enjoyed the Arizona Democrat, one of the characters in several parties who attacked the bill in the Congress areas, represented by the Republicans. He was rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in the 1st Congress area, among the most competitive nations in the last three elections of Congress.
The country, disappointed with the many initiatives of Trump’s administration, had its own energy.
“I come here because I work in health care and this bill will hurt health care,” said Alexandra Salter, an assistant physician from Davenport. “I think we vote even more about it because we have to talk about it.”
On Monday, the meeting was severely contradicted by the flood meeting in Lincolne, Nebraska, with an even greater crowd of 700 people in a decisive opinion of the bill, especially after the Medicaid change, the federal -funded health care program for low -income Americans.
The draft law, adopted without a democratic voice in the Palace or Senate, greatly reduces the health care program, especially by establishing job requirements for many help.
The same frustration that Wernimont to Davenport Saturday convinced Ann Ashburn of Aurora, Nebrask, to travel 70 miles (113 kilometers) to Lincoln to face the flood on Monday.
Ashburn learned about the Flood performance through the Omaha region’s democratic group called Blue Dot, and contacted friends who joined it. She rejected any proposal that such opposition was organized.
“I think the momentum could have been much bigger if we were better organized,” a 72-year-old retired said.
For the time being, Republicans have terminated their job for them if they expect this measure to be the reason for voters to return them to most in 2026. Election. About two thirds of the US adults expect the new law to help the rich, according to a survey of the Associated Press-Norc Public Affairs Research Center. According to the last survey, most-6 in 10-way thinks that it will do more than will help people with low-income people.
Gallego took advantage of his trip to Ayova, which includes the required stop at the Ayova State Fair to burn his profile in the state by 2020. Traditionally, he organized the first event in the Democratic Presidential Process. Ajova Democrats hope to return to the parade front when 2028 began. Basics and Caucasians.
Other figures, already popular on a national scale with Democrats such as New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, stop in Republican districts, belittling laws. Last month, the Ocasio-Cortez led the event in the New York 21st District, represented by the Republican Elise Stefanik, noting other points by noting his Medicaid provisions.
It is planned that Vermont’s elder Bernie Sanders will hold rallies on Sunday in North Carolina in the Republican houses. He also planned to focus on Medicaid’s incisions and pay attention to their impact on rural hospitals in the country, where former government chief Roy Cooper, who is now in the US Senate, has worked with a GOP -controlled legislator manager.
