Nebraska Congressman Mike Flood Confronts Angry Constituents Over Trump Megabill at Heated Town Hall
U.S. Representative Mike Flood (R-NE) faced a hostile crowd at a town hall in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Monday, August 4, 2025, as constituents vocally expressed anger over President Donald Trump’s recently signed comprehensive policy and tax bill.
The event, held at Kimball Hall with approximately 750 attendees, quickly devolved into shouts and heckling as Rep. Flood attempted to explain the controversial legislation. Despite his efforts to clarify provisions, particularly regarding healthcare, the congressman was repeatedly drowned out by boos and shouts of “Vote him out!”
Key points of contention included the megabill’s impact on Medicaid, with Flood defending changes by arguing against free healthcare for able-bodied individuals who choose not to work, or for undocumented immigrants. This stance was met with strong disapproval from the audience.
Discussions on the bill’s tax provisions, which Flood characterized as a “middle-class tax cut” including no tax on tips and overtime, also ignited fierce opposition. Audience members repeatedly chanted, “Tax the Rich!” challenging the congressman’s assertions and economic projections.
The hour-and-a-half forum concluded with widespread dissatisfaction among the constituents, underscoring the deep public division over the new Trump administration policies.
