Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler, the dean of the New York congressional delegation, has decided not to run for reelection next year, his office told CNN on Monday.

Nadler, 78, told the New York Times in an interview published Monday he was convinced it was time for generational change and that a younger person “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”

He did not discuss who should succeed him, the Times said, but noted that many of his allies might enter the race.

The move comes around a month after Liam Elkind, a 26-year-old Democrat, entered the race for Nadler’s district as a primary challenger. He had pitched his run as “respectfully asking” Nadler, who has been in Congress since 1992, to retire. …

Huzzah! However, the district’s voters will replace him with someone just as bad.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Nadler just pinched a grogan in his pants.

[Olog-hai]

Well, this Liam Elkind fellow is probably the very bad one you speak of. Not that I regard elections in NY as legitimate, mind you.

[rlmorel]

Hahahaha never heard that expression before!

[lightman]

WAY past time to empty the Democrap Geriatric ward aka Congress.

Nanzi, are you listening?

[lightman]

WTF?

[Labyrinthos]

CNN — No thanks. This news is available on several sources that don’t hate MAGA and freedom. I can’t understand why Freepers link to CNN when the same news is available on FOX, NY Post, Brietbart, etc. But if you want to support fake news, libtards, and the deep state, then go for it.

[Olog-hai]

Nobody’s asking you to click on it.

[drypowder]

He’s finally had enough of hearing his colleagues tell him that he stinks.

[Hattie]

Why wait?

[Hattie]

Why wait?

“I can’t understand why Freepers link to CNN”
I’ve often had that same thought, only in the sense
we get the Liberal story only, but no conservative
stories on the same subject as a ccounter.
We just get the expected bitching about how
Liberals are shit( which they are).
Might be interesting to read Conservative views and
the comments.
Not all conservatives are above ridicule.

[dfwgator]

His replacement will be even worse.

[Bullish]

This guy’s gonna’ need a box soon.

Huzzah! However, the district’s voters will replace him with someone just as bad.

Or worse. Fat Jerry would be considered too conservative by present day NYC democrat standards.

[Busywhiskers]

That will improve the state of American politics.

[Nervous Tick]

It’s tough to walk with a soggy Depends. ;-)

[rellic]

NO!
As long as we allow Democrats
in positions of power we are all screwed!
