"Democratic members of Congress, back home in their districts for the last week, have been encountering a level of anger and hostility that some see as reminiscent of the 2010 Tea Party wave.
Why it matters: The dynamic could spill over into 2026 primaries, lawmakers tell Axios, with the infuriated grassroots attempting to throw out House and Senate Democrats they see as unprepared to take on Trump.
"Any Democratic incumbent who thinks they can rest on their laurels and not show their constituents that they are fighting like hell is making a mistake," said Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.).
A senior House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer an even blunter assessment, told Axios: "The people that have been voting ... with Republicans on these messaging bills are people that could get primaried."
"These groups are paying attention to that," the lawmaker said.
State of play: Democratic town halls across the country have been erupting into fury over Senate Democrats' decision to let a Republican spending bill pass rather than use it as leverage to constrain DOGE."
