Townhall.com covered this.

It reads that Connolly announced in April he wasn't seeking reelection due to his cancer resurgence... it also made it seem like his health suddenly turned for the worst.

Maybe he actually wasn't another Feinstein..

Not saying this of Gerry Connolly. For some politicians, it is a religion and they are demi-gods. They want the power and the adulation..


I can absolutely say that about him.

I have empathy for Gerry and his family as cancer is horrible for all involved.

But the rest of what you typed applies specifically and abundantly to Gerry.

why do politicians spend their very last days in office?

I'll never understand this.

Ego. Just like athletes trying to hang on well past their prime.

Yes true. But also because it often takes decades to build seniority in Congress. For example, after serving 16 years and at age 74, Connolly became a Committee Ranking Member for the first time.

Man. The comment section on X for the announcement of his death gets pretty rough.

It's true. To everyone reading this: there really is no better time than now to turn your life to Christ.
