Manhattan Reps. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, both Congressional stalwarts for a generation, will face each other in a Democratic primary this summer after redrawn maps put the two in the same district.Nadler has been in Congress since 1992, and currently represents the 10th District; Maloney has served since 1993 and is the incumbent in the 12th District.
The state's congressional primary is expected Aug. 23. It was postponed after a judge threw out maps drawn by a redistricting commission and assigned the task to a special master.
A draft of that special master's maps came out Monday morning, showing Nadler and Maloney might be pitted against each other. The new 12th district spans essentially the middle third of Manhattan. Nadler is the chair of the House Judiciary Committee and Maloney the chair of the House Oversight Committee, making them two of the most powerful members of Congress.
Nadler and Maloney aren't the only incumbents with a sudden primary problem thanks to the new maps. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, currently represents the 18th District but said he would run in the 17th in the new maps.That would potentially line him up for a primary challenge against Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents the district.
Sounds like good news to me. I’ll take it!
I think they should settle this with a duel at dawn. Give each a machine gun and 500 rounds of ammo just to be sure.
Hope Gonad gets defeated
with those two hags they’ll end up killing 1000 people but not each other
They’re both odious.
Too bad they both can’t lose.
They are both filth.
Right out of Fantasia. Dinosaur fight.
Brontosaurus vs. Triceratops.
Cue the orchestra, call the family, start the popcorn.
Nadler is the heavyweight favorite.
The problem is, one of them will win and beat the GOP candidate.
Pizza the Hut saw the new map and plotzed….
that’s insulting- to filth!!
New York lost a congressional seat, which meant the districts were going to collide somehow; in the meantime, Florida picks up a house seat, which means no incumbent matchups are needed.
In that case I hope Nadler wins. At least he provides some entertainment value.
PRIMRIES ARE WHERE YOU GET RID OF INCUMBENTS!!!!
That’s how AOL took the seat from a long term democrat. Pelosi didn’t even see it coming.
So few people vote in primaries it’s ridiculous.
Just you and a handful of your friends and neighbors can make a different.
One slow year I asked the bored poll workers how many people voted that day- they said 27. Not 27%, 27 people.
They are both awful but Nadler is such a disgusting puke him losing would be a win.
Hard to believe a guy as obviously unhealthy as Nadler is still in it. He’ll probably die in office.
“Get in muh belly!”
Is there even a GOP candidate in that district?
