Misogyny much. How about Grassley, Risch, McConnell, Sanders, John Carter, Clyburn, and Hoyer.

Nearly all of them are younger than Pelosi and Waters. But yeah, Grassley needs to go too.

When I met with her last year, she had no idea what was going on. It was embarrassing.

I’ve called her office several times and asked if she has a succession plan and they all seem dumbfounded. One staffer did kind of giggle and say yeah I’ve been thinking that as well.

What type of person could primary her? I’m almost considering trying to do an AOC type takeover but I’m no young person myself I’m 60 I guess compared to her almost 90 years old.

I’m so sick of these old farts in Congress. Anyone know of someone who might run?

She is hording power when we need someone fighting strongly for DC. I’ve been calling her office for a couple years on this. It’s disgusting. And if you are her staff, tell her to resign now or you will become unemployable.

Sadly, this.

Not to discount her efforts over the years, but this position has no power. And real congresss people don’t give an f about other districts or states.

Then she fits right in with the DC Democratic Party.

I was SHOCKED when I talked to her in person a few months ago. Like others have said, she is completely senile. It's a freaking joke that she's still in office.

Is she still doing public events? I havent seen or heard from her in a long time

To be fair, her staff was very helpful to me last year when I had a passport problem.

NOT TRUE! She is on Oversight Committee, taking up
Valuable space. She can introduce legislation, she can lobby Congress. I’m so sick of people expecting zero from legislators. We’re so starved for anything we think Bookers speech was “doing something.”

99% of the Dem party has failure of imagination. Look at what MTG was able to accomplish when she had no power.

Eleanor’s staff, if you are reading this, you should be ashamed of yourselves. The elders could have mentored youth, passed along power and left with integrity. Now many will be primaried and leave by the back door.

Passed along the power? This isn't a hereditary position.

Who is that? I think someone like Brooke Pinto is more likely. Other politicians with citywide name recognition are not likely to primary EHN and thus annoy Dem party leadership in the process. Someone like Pinto could have a real shot in a primary. Pretty decent name recognition if you follow DC politics, but doesn’t seem as invested in the Dem party apparatus (I could be wrong on this; I don’t actually know her and I’m not a constituent).
