Longtime Georgia Democrate dies at 80

Longtime Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat, died on April 22, a day after he'd cast a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives. He was 80 years old.

House Minority Leader Hakeeem Jeffries, D-New York, and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, confired his death. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-New York, also offered his condolences on Capitol Hill, calling him a friend and saying he was "going to be missed."

"I was just with him yesterday," Meeks said. The Georgia lawmaker was running for reelection, seeking another term in the House.

Scott's office did not immediately identify his cause of death. Concerns about his health had spread on Capitol Hill in recent years.
