“In late April, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s delegate to the U.S. House for these last 35 years, ‘stumbled through a short speech in which she appeared to struggle with both reading and comprehension, unable to deliver more than a garbled, Mad Libs-style version of her intended remarks,’ according to a report in Washingtonian magazine and confirmed by an audio recording. … Still, when questioned earlier this week about possible retirement, Norton declared, ‘I’m going to run. I don’t know why anybody would even ask me.’ The 88-year-old non-voting delegate from our nation’s capital would be 90 if reelected next year and able to complete a 14th term. When of course she might yet run again.” (06/16/25)
