Longtime Rep. Jerry Nadler ’s (D-NY) retirement is expected to spark a wide Democratic primary for his successor, opening the doors for yet another example of how the party will adhere to calls for generational change.

Nadler, 78, the longest-serving New Yorker, announced Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2026, ending his 34-year career in Congress . He didn’t comment immediately on a successor, but New York politicos are now looking inward to see who will replace one of the state’s most prominent Jewish leaders.
