Congress often appears more focused on chasing headlines and scoring political points than on doing the hard work of serving the public. Lawmakers frequently prioritize flashy speeches, media battles, and symbolic legislation that draws attention but rarely solves real problems. This focus is partly driven by the intense polarization in Washington, where each party aims to rally its base rather than seek common ground, creating gridlock that stalls important policies on healthcare, education, and infrastructure. The resulting political theater makes it seem like Congress is more interested in winning public opinion battles than addressing the everyday needs of Americans.
For residents of New Hampshire, this headline-driven Congress means frustration and a lack of progress on issues critical to their lives. New Hampshire relies heavily on federal support for rural healthcare, education funding, and economic development, but gridlock often delays or blocks these resources from reaching communities. Many Granite Staters feel disconnected from their representatives, seeing elected officials more concerned with social media battles or news cycles than with profiles of their constituents’ struggles. This dynamic weakens trust in government and makes it harder for residents to get the services and support they need, amplifying the sentiment that Washington is broken and out of touch with everyday Americans.
