"really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party."
"I think I want to respect that," he said in the interview that was conducted last week, adding that a more youthful replacement "can maybe do better, can maybe help us more."
"A certain amount of change is very helpful, especially when we face the challenge of Trump and his incipient fascism."
Jerry Nadler will retire from Congress, citing a need for generational change after the controversy surrounding President Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 election. Nadler acknowledged younger leaders might serve the party better and said some senior colleagues should step aside, especially given the challenge posed by Trump. First elected in 1992, Nadler ranks among the House's most senior members, serves as dean of the New York delegation, is the longest-serving Jewish member of Congress, and co-chairs the Congressional Jewish Caucus. His departure creates an open Democratic primary in a solidly Manhattan-based seat.
