He is a self-hating Jew who was enabled by Ezra "Kapo" Friedlander who was on his payroll, and who wrote in all Jewish publications urging Holocaust survivors, no less, to support and endorse Obama's deadly Iran deal!
Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler, the longest-serving member of New York’s congressional delegation and a prominent voice on the House Judiciary Committee, said Monday he will retire at the end of his term and not run for reelection in 2026.
Nadler, 78, told The New York Times that President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside from the 2024 presidential race influenced his own thinking about the need for generational change in the Democratic Party.
“Not every senior leader needs to leave, but some turnover is healthy,” Nadler said. “We face enormous challenges, and the party needs to make space for new leaders.”
Nadler has represented Manhattan in Congress since 1992, building a reputation as one of the chamber’s most liberal members. He chaired the Judiciary Committee during both impeachments of former President Donald Trump and most recently served as its ranking Democrat until stepping down late last year.
His retirement ends more than three decades in Congress and opens up a coveted seat in New York’s 12th Congressional District, which covers parts of Manhattan. Several Democrats are already positioning themselves for a run, including Liam Elkind, a 26-year-old nonprofit executive. Other potential contenders include Assemblymember Micah Lasher, former city Comptroller Scott Stringer and investor Whitney Tilson.
Nadler did not endorse a successor but has privately signaled support for Lasher, a former aide.
He joins a wave of senior Democrats announcing retirements ahead of 2026, including Reps. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania and Danny Davis of Illinois.
Nadler is currently the 10th most senior member of the House and the eighth most senior Democrat.
