Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton’s office is walking back earlier comments suggesting she would run for reelection in 2026, clarifying that no final decision has been made.
Norton, 88, told NBC News’ Sahil Kapur on Wednesday afternoon that she will seek reelection as a Delegate to the U.S. House for the District of Columbia.
Kapur posted on X, formerly Twitter, “Just now — @EleanorNorton tells me she’s made up her mind and will in fact seek another term in the House in 2026: “Yeah, I’m gonna run for re-election.”
However, about an hour later on Wednesday, Axios’ Cuneyt Dil and Andrew Solender reported that Sharon Nichols, Norton’s spokesperson, said, “No decision has been made. She wants to run but is still discussing it with people closest to her.”
Newsweek has reached out to Nichols via email on Wednesday night for comment.
This marks the second instance this month where Norton has informed a reporter of her intention to seek re-election, only for her office to subsequently retract the statement.
