Summary

This quote highlights the issue of distance in Washington's political landscape. It implies that the individuals working in Washington, arguably the seat of power in the United States, are disconnected from their hometowns or the areas they represent. This physical distance can lead to a lack of understanding, empathy, and connectedness with the needs and concerns of people outside the political bubble. It suggests that this detachment might hinder effective representation and decision-making in Washington.
