Eleanor Holmes Norton turned 88 this month
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, an octogenarian Democrat who represents Washington, D.C., in the House but cannot vote to pass legislation, said that she will seek re-election — but then her office walked back her comment.
NBC News’ Sahil Kapur noted in a Wednesday post on X that Norton said, “Yeah, I’m gonna run for re-election.”
But Axios reported that later, Norton spokesperson Sharon Nichols told the outlet, “No decision has been made. She wants to run but is still discussing it with people closest to her.”
The same sort of backpedaling occurred earlier this month as well: Kapur noted in a June 10 post on X that Norton said she will run.
another example that all congressional positions need term limits.
Yet the only group that can approve term limits is CONgress!
Sad.
