It was a summer of fiery town halls as attendees clashed over Trump, immigration, Gaza and Medicaid

With political tensions running high, the vast majority of congressional lawmakers steered clear of town halls this summer. The handful who entered the lion’s den were met with boos, jeers and tense confrontations. President Donald Trump and the Republicans may have full control of Washington, but protesters spared neither political party. At 25 town halls across the country that were viewed or attended by NBC News this summer, voters pressured Democrats to deploy more aggressive tactics as they battle Trump and took them to task over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
