Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings died at the age of 68 on Thursday in Baltimore. Chuck Todd, host of Meet the Press Daily on MSNBC, joined Boston Public Radio Thursday to share some thoughts about Cummings.
"This guy always saw the good in people and assumed that somebody had the ability to be better in themselves," Todd said. "Had it not been for his health issue, he was on his way to being the first African American speaker of the House."
