GOP lawmakers face backlash over Trump-Musk policies
Republican lawmakers are facing voter anger over President Donald Trump’s sweeping policies.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference last week in Washington, DC, Trump vowed to continue his aggressive agenda, including job cuts and slashing public programs.
But across the country, GOP lawmakers are being confronted by furious constituents.
In Georgia, Rep. Rich McCormick faced backlash over federal employee firings.
In Texas, Rep. Pete Sessions was pressed on protecting social safety programs.
Similar outrage erupted in Alaska and Oklahoma, where voters questioned the role of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency in making drastic cuts.
Trump’s own pollster warned that moving forward with GOP plans to hand out $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy will be perilous for the party.
Critics argue that Trump’s executive orders bypass Congress, leading to reckless decisions.
House Republicans are set to vote on a budget that could cut Medicaid and food assistance — moves that could cost them seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
Polls show that Trump’s approval is slipping in key Republican districts.
With economic worries rising, 80% of voters support extending health care subsidies.
Meanwhile, Trump remains defiant, urging Musk to push even harder.
With protests growing, GOP lawmakers face a tough choice — stick with Trump’s agenda or risk losing voter support.
