Jerry Nadler (D-NY) announced that he will not seek the position of top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee in the upcoming Congress. This decision marks the end of his years-long tenure as either chairman or ranking member of the panel, which plays a pivotal role in overseeing the Department of Justice. Nadler instead threw his support behind Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to lead the committee as Democrats prepare for a challenging political landscape under President-elect Donald Trump's second term. Nadler, 77, conveyed his decision in a letter to colleagues, citing confidence in Raskin's leadership at a critical juncture for the country. "As our country faces the return of Donald Trump, and the renewed threats to our democracy and our way of life that he represents, I am very confident that Jamie would ably lead the Judiciary Committee as we confront this growing danger," Nadler wrote. News: Rep. JERRY NADLER will be stepping down from race to be the top Democrat on House Judiciary Committee, making the difficult decision after speaking with staff and Rep. Jamie Raskin who announced his bid for the job. Here's the letter he sent to colleagues, obtained by AP [pic.twitter.com/Tgswdt8Yzu]( - Farnoush Amiri (@FarnoushAmiri) [December 4, 2024]( The timing of Nadler's move aligns with growing calls within the Democratic Party to elevate younger leaders after the GOP's sweeping victories in the 2024 elections. Republicans not only held their majority in the House but also regained control of the Senate and the White House. At 61, [Raskin represents a more youthful option]( while also carrying significant credentials. A prominent figure in the January 6 impeachment inquiry against Trump, Raskin served on the now-dissolved January 6 Committee and has built his reputation as a staunch opponent of Trump's "MAGA" agenda. In his own letter, Raskin signaled his readiness to lead the charge against Trump's influence. "The Judiciary Committee will be the headquarters of Congressional opposition to authoritarianism and MAGA's campaign to dismantle our Constitutional system and the rule of law as we know it," Raskin wrote, underscoring his commitment to protecting democratic norms. Raskin's candidacy for Judiciary Committee leadership leaves a vacancy on the House Oversight Committee, where he has served as ranking member. That opening has already spurred interest from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who faces potential competition from Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the importance of preparing for the next administration while continuing to advocate for working-class Americans.
