Rep. Mike Flood, a Republican from Nebraska, was jeered and backpedaled from several of President Donald Trump’s signature policies at a town hall Tuesday evening — his second contentious encounter with constituents within the past year.
In his first town hall of 2026, Flood was asked to defend his party’s stances on a number of issues, from Medicaid to the Iran war. Many attendees were unhappy with the state of the American economy in Trump’s second term — and let Flood know.
Republicans abruptly left for recess last week after their reconciliation bill fell apart due to disagreements over funding for Trump’s White House ballroom, among other concerns.
