Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) has died, according to a statement from his office.
Cummings, the head of the powerful House Oversight and Reform Committee, died early Thursday at Johns Hopkins Hospital due to complications from longstanding health challenges, according to The Associated Press.
In a statement on Sept. 30, Cummings said his doctors expected him to be able to return to Washington “when the House comes back into session in two weeks.” It said he’d be in “constant communication” with his staff and congressional colleagues while he was away.
