Eleanor Holmes Norton keeps a low profile as Trump takes aim at DC
The 88-year-old congressional delegate has mounted a back-seat response to the most serious federal threat to the city’s government in 30 years.
Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s nonvoting House delegate, issued a written statement Monday after Trump seized control of the city’s police force and moved to send in National Guard troops, calling it “counterproductive,” a “historic assault on D.C. home rule” and “more evidence of the urgent need to pass my D.C. statehood bill.”
