Washington-the Republicans of the House of Representatives are getting tired and distrusting the meetings in the City Council in person after several legislators have faced the crowds of the city angry at the impulse of the Trump administration to reduce programs and staff Government.
Party leaders suggest that if legislators feel the need to celebrate such events, they perform television rooms or at least attendees to attendees to avoid scenes that become viral clips, according to sources of the Republican party.
An assistant of the Republican party said that the Republican leaders of the Chamber are urging legislators to stop participating in them completely.
The municipalities, and the eruption of the negative headlines, have been the first outbreak of public recoil for the members who face the voters next year. And the new reluctance to hold them indicates that there are bubbly concerns about the impact that the cuts could have on the possibilities of the Republican party to maintain its thin majority in the house next year.
The viral nature of the video clips that extend from one district to another means that a bad confrontation in the safe republican territory could influence voters in the battlefields.
The tension occurs when the Chamber led by the Republican Party tries to promulgate even deeper tax expenses and cuts through legislation that could add up to $ 4.5 billion to the national debt during the next decade. But much of this focused on billionaire Elon Musk, the face of President Donald Trump’s effort to unilaterally eliminate jobs, contracts and subsidies. Musk, who serves as a “special government employee” who advises Trump, did not require the confirmation of the Senate to take his temporary position.
“Obviously we are very aware of those headlines,” said an official of the Republican National Committee familiar with the dynamics.
“I don’t know if a specific edict is going out of the top you need to stop or anything, but a message that I think has been clearly sent that this narrative should end very soon,” said the official. “Probably the best way for that to happen is that there are no more municipalities. Elon Musk’s work still has the support of the administration, point. ”
Beyond that, the White House officials and the party say that the majority of the public wants the president’s budget cuts.
“The president’s policies are incredibly popular, and the American people applaud their success in reducing waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayers won with so much effort,” said Danielle Alvarez, main advisor of the RNC. “The pathetic Astroturf campaigns organized by groups out of touch and extreme left are exactly why the Democrats will continue to lose.”
A republican legislator who spoke with NBC News about the condition of anonymity to avoid publicly disseminating the internal strategy of the party, said that the RNC has been useful to make suggestions on how the Republicans of the House of Representatives can handle the situation, but not They arrested to try to impose an impossible to enforce the moratorium.
Legislators are scared enough about the perspectives of the heated exchanges that most of them do not want to make municipalities anyway, said this Republican.
A Chief of Cabinet of a Republican of the House of Representatives who has easily won Heavy Republican districts may have benefited from a reaction to criticism.
“It’s 2018 again,” said the assistant. “The municipalities, in any case, helped in districts like ours.”
