36. In this case, she was literally "born and raised" in there

Jan 2022

thanks to her father being a Congressman from Baltimore (1939 - 1947, where she was born in 1940, literally roaming the halls of Congress through her young childhood).

Like Biden, she has some deep deep, near-primordial knowledge of the House and I think she has been mentoring members and will probably continue to do so during the post-2022 election's term (however it turns out). I know Hakeem Jeffries' (who is 51) name has been brought up a lot so will see if that possibility gets more developed as we move forward.
