Longtime Democrat Jerry Nadler just announced he’s calling it quits after nearly two decades in Congress. The 78-year-old New York representative said he won’t run for reelection next year. He claims he was inspired by Joe Biden’s failed campaign to step aside for “generational change.”
Nadler spent years attacking President Trump and leading the Democrats’ bogus impeachment circus. As chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he wasted taxpayer money on partisan witch hunts. He turned what should be serious oversight into a political clown show that backfired on Democrats.
Now Nadler says it’s time for younger Democrats to take over and “rebuild” the party. This is the same party that just got crushed in elections across the country. Maybe Americans are tired of their radical agenda and endless investigations.
The timing of this retirement speaks volumes about where Democrats see their future. They know their old guard failed to connect with working families. Instead of learning from their mistakes, they’re doubling down on far-left politics.
A 26-year-old challenger named Liam Elkind already jumped into the race for Nadler’s seat. Elkind represents the new generation of Democrats who seem even more extreme than the current crop. This isn’t the moderate change that might help Democrats win back voters.
Nadler’s departure removes one of the Democrats’ most partisan attack dogs from Congress. He spent more time going after conservatives than actually helping his constituents. Good riddance to another career politician who put party politics over the people.
The Democrat establishment is panicking as they watch their power slip away. Nadler’s retirement is just another sign that their message isn’t working with real Americans. They can change the faces, but their failed policies remain the same.
This changing of the guard won’t save the Democrats from their own extremism. Until they stop attacking American values and start fighting for working families, they’ll keep losing elections. Nadler’s exit is just the beginning of their larger political reckoning.
