WASHINGTON - Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, Washington, D.C.’s longtime nonvoting representative in Congress, says she’s not stepping down.
When asked by FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram if she plans to retire, Norton replied, "No, no!" Pergram shared the development on X on Thursday morning.
Retirement calls grow
Norton, 88, is facing growing pressure to end her tenure. Earlier this week, former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile, once Norton’s chief of staff, publicly urged her not to seek re-election, according to The Hill.
Norton has represented the District since 1991, serving 18 terms. Despite the calls to retire, she appeared on Capitol Hill Thursday for the hearing on the city’s crime policy.
