Raskin tells supporters he’s midway through cancer treatment

Appearing in his now-signature bandanna and in high spirits, Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) told supporters in a video message Wednesday that he was midway through his cancer chemotherapy treatment. “I’ve done three of six rounds of chemotherapy, and you guys have completely bolstered my courage and my confidence,” he told members of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee in what he called a “video valentine,” after reading thousands of messages the group’s members sent him recently.
