Not Trump's America: DuPage County, Illinois, no longer 'Henry Hyde Country'


In ‘Hyde Country,’ Voters Warily Eye Impeachment, and Fear Its Aftermath.  (The New York Times, 11/12/2019)
A candidate like Hyde might have trouble winning this district today Locals sometimes refer to this area as Henry Hyde country, after the former Republican congressman who, as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee at the time, led the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Mr. Hyde, a conservative who died in 2007, was such a fervent foe of abortion rights that the amendment banning federal funding for abortion bears his name.
