Democrats appear to have another Joe Biden situation on their hands.

Eleanor Holmes Norton, 88, has represented Washington, D.C., as a nonvoting member of the U.S. House of Representatives since the George H.W. Bush administration. She has repeatedly described herself as the city's "warrior on the Hill." If Norton were physically and mentally able, she would be leading her party's opposition to Donald Trump's anti-crime crackdown in the nation's capital. Alas, she is nowhere to be found.

Politico reports that Norton has been conspicuously absent from the raging public debate over Trump's decision to send in National Guard troops to restore order in the crime-plagued capital. She hasn't appeared in public or given any interviews since Monday, when her office issued a press release denouncing the "historic assault" on the district and demanding passage of her misguided D.C. statehood bill. Her name did not appear on a joint statement from her Democratic colleagues whose districts border the capital. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) said he hasn't spoken to Norton, and her office denied Politico's request for an interview.
