Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said in a video to supporters that he is halfway through treatment for the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma he was diagnosed with in December 2022.
Raskin said he has done three of the six rounds of chemotherapy in a video to supporters who expressed their support via the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, per the Hill.
JAMIE RASKIN ON CANCER TREATMENT: 'I AM HANGING TOUGH'
“I’m midway through my treatments here. I’ve done three of six rounds of chemotherapy, and you guys have completely bolstered my courage and my confidence," he said.
The Maryland congressman also commented on his bandannas and the other head coverings he has worn as he continues to work through his cancer treatment.
"I’ve got my own constitutional preamble bandanna,” Raskin said. “I’ve got flag hats. I’ve got people’s own chemo hats that worked for them from a place called Alex’s Lemonade Stand. I got some bandannas. So my cup runneth over. And of course, a bunch of people sent me my own true blue Democrat mask.”
The frequent Trump critic also took time to thank supporters for their comments on his work on the Jan. 6 committee and during the impeachments of former President Donald Trump.

"Thank you for everything you said about the Jan. 6 committee, thank you for everything you said about the impeachment trial. Thank you for everything you said about us hanging tough for democracy and freedom against all the autocrats and all the theocrats and all the plutocrats of the world, from Putin and Moscow to Trump in Mar-a-Lago, all over the world," the Maryland congressman said.
Raskin announced his cancer diagnosis on Dec. 28, 2022, saying it was "a serious but curable form of cancer." Later in January, Raskin said that he was "hanging tough" and that his "energy is good" amid the treatment.
