Republicans disproportionately slowing town halls

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 13, 2020

Democrats' town halls have more than doubled since two years ago, while Republican numbers have plummeted.

Since June 1, Republicans have held only 52 town halls, or 19 percent of all town halls. Democrats have held 211 events since June. During the same time period in 2018, Republicans held 54 percent of town halls - 109 events versus Democrats' 91.

Although both parties have decreased the number of town halls since the spring, GOP town halls have dropped at a much faster rate. In April, Republicans held 182 town halls - a third of the 547 events.

Neither party has held an in-person town hall since March, instead opting to hold events mainly by phone and Facebook. Participation by members in town halls can help gauge which party feels its messages are resonating more with the public. The change is all the more striking since telephone town halls offer members much greater control over their messages than in-person town halls that can be attended by throngs of angry activists.
