@nursefrombirth yet another politician that would rather stay in office until they die, than retiring and letting younger people get involved.

Hours before her family revealed her passing, Jackson Lee took to X to share her support for Biden as a growing number of her congressional colleagues call for him to drop out.
'The time is now to unite behind the President and get to work beating Donald Trump — one last time,' she wrote.
