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.

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.

PP. endorsed. Better?

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?

David Hogg

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).

She is demographically challenged.

Pinto is a republican in dem clothing, so no.

The Mayor will have to decide if she wants the congressional job for life or stay mayor and see the staduim through.

From there, you will see the same group vying for the slot that remains: McDuffie, Robert White and perhaps Christina Henderson.

No need, they will just abolish the position as a cost savings measure.

I’m the PP you’re responding to. That might be her downfall in an open race, but not in a 1v1 primary against EHN.
