'We called it!' GOP rep scraps town hall after opponent points out it's in wrong district

Republican Rep. Stephanie Bice (OK) has canceled her small town hall meeting billed as a "meet and greet" after her Democratic opponent revealed she'd scheduled it in the wrong district.

Bice has fallen under criticism from locals, including her opponent, for refusing to hold any town hall meetings where voters can be heard. Republicans have faced furious voters across the country, including in very red areas, after they passed President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which makes significant cuts to services, particularly those in rural areas and farmers.

The local site, The Lost Ogle, reported Bice's opponent, Jena Nelson, needled the congresswoman after seeing she finally scheduled a town hall. However, she scheduled it outside of her own district.
