U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock held a town hall in southwest Atlanta on Sunday evening.

Warnock answered questions for two hours from some of the hundreds of people at Zion Hill Baptist Church.

Constituents asked him what he is doing to challenge the Trump administration's budget cuts, tariffs and foreign policy.

"I am doing everything I can with the tools I have," Warnock said. "But those tools are not the same as they were my first two congresses. But I'm going to use the tools I have. Just because we're out of power doesn't mean we don't have any power."

Warnock, who is a ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, said he will bring Trump administration officials in to testify.

"You have my commitment that as a member of the Senate, I'm holding this administration accountable," he said.

The town hall was briefly interrupted by pro-Palestine protesters.

April town hall meetings by other Georgia members of Congress included fellow Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff's event in Marietta on April 25 and Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's event in Acworth on April 16. U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick, also a Republican, held an event in Roswell in February.
