Congress Swamped With Calls in Era of Trump

President Donald Trump has promised to shake up Washington, but so far he’s produced gridlock – at least with the phone lines on Capitol Hill. Whether constituents are calling to request congressional flags, get help with a local issue – or, more likely, to register their support or displeasure with the latest move by President Donald Trump – these days they are more likely to get a busy signal or voice mail than a live human, at least if they’re calling their senator.
