Constituents push for more action from Democrats at U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson's town hall
Constituents at U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson's town hall in Gwinnett County on Wednesday evening pressed Johnson on why Democrats in Congress are not doing more to block President Donald Trump's agenda.
"You're telling us we have to stay with this abusive boyfriend until November of next year," one woman said, "Why are you leading me if I am more brave than you?"
Johnson, who has been in his congressional seat for nearly 18 years, urged constituents to vote for Democrats in 2026 and consider peacefully protesting in the meantime. He said Democrats' hands are tied while Republicans hold the majority in both chambers of Congress.
