Tim Walz of Minnesota, the 2024 Democratic nominee for vice president, is set to headline two of the events, which have previously been announced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The idea of Democrats\u2019 hosting town halls in Republican districts began with Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who has already held five such town halls, drawing thousands of people. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is expected to join him for at least one event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Separately, Representative Ro Khanna of California has announced plans to hold events this weekend in the districts of three California Republicans, all of whom are in battleground seats. And Representative Maxwell Frost, Democrat of Florida, said this week that he was also planning to hold town halls in Republican districts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The broader wave of town halls is being planned by the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Association of State Democratic Committees and the state parties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThese increasingly vulnerable House Republicans are failing to do the most basic aspect of their jobs: meeting with the people they represent,\u201d said Representative Suzan DelBene of Washington, the chair of the House Democratic campaign arm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The initial nine Republicans being targeted are: Representative Juan Ciscomani of Arizona, Representative Gabe Evans of Colorado, Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Representative Zach Nunn of Iowa, Representative John James of Michigan, Representative Ann Wagner of Missouri, Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska and Representatives Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
