Eleanor Holmes Norton, the long-serving D.C. Delegate, is encountering significant political threats as calls for her to retire intensify. Notably, political strategist Donna Brazile has publicly urged Norton, who is 88 years old, not to run for re-election, emphasizing the need for new leadership in the district. This sentiment echoes across various circles, with close colleagues and opinion pieces advocating for her to step aside. As Norton continues to assert that she has no plans to retire, the pressure mounts with emerging candidates like D.C. Council member Robert White preparing to enter the race for her seat.
