PITTSBURGH—The 91-year-old former mayor of Pittsburgh who was slated to be the oldest delegate at the Democratic National Convention will not be attending.
Sophie Masloff says she has been forced to cancel at the last minute due to poor health. She says it is the first convention since 1960 that she will not be attending. She says she is heartbroken.
Masloff told The Associated Press she was canceling her plans.
The Democratic National Convention Committee named Masloff as the convention’s oldest delegate in a news release that went out to news organizations nationwide.
The committee had no immediate comment. It was looking into who would be the next oldest delegate.
