Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Corrupt, Ballymore) Dead at 68 |
2019-10-17 |
[Ay-Pee] Maryland Rep. Elijah E. Cummings died early Thursday at Johns Hopkins Hospital due to complications from longstanding health challenges, his congressional office said. He was 68. A sharecropper's son, Cummings became the powerful chairman of a U.S. House committee that investigated President Donald Trump, and was a formidable orator who passionately advocated for the poor in his black-majority district, which encompasses a large portion of Baltimore as well as more well-to-do suburbs. He got money but basically did sh*t for his district and Trump called him out for it As chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Cummings led multiple investigations of the president's governmental dealings, including probes in 2019 relating to the president's family members serving in the White House. |

#6 Who is likely to replace Cummings. Will it be Katie Hill (D-California) who is Vice Chair of oversight committee? I could recommend Jim Jordan who is ranking member but that's not going to happen. |

#5 It'll be interesting to see how the election to replace him goes. Trump made good points on Maryland and GOP has a ton of money. Is there an electable candidate ready to go? |
