Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democratic representative for D.C., plans to retire when her current term ends. Although she doesn’t have voting rights in Congress, her decision to step down after over 30 years in office has prompted a significant political shift.
President Donald Trump and his Republican supporters, though not on the upcoming ballot, dominate discussions in the campaign to replace Norton. Candidates agree on the main issues: the presidency is seen as a challenge, and statehood is viewed as a solution.
The crowded field of hopefuls strives to differentiate themselves by focusing on these points while vying for Norton’s position.
