Chelsea Clinton Reveals Whether She Will Run For Rep. Jerry Nadler’s Open Seat

[Conservative Angle]

​

As Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) announced his retirement, a handful of Democrats, including Chelsea Clinton, have been rumored to be candidates for his open seat.

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clinton, has silenced those rumors that she will run for New York’s 10th Congressional District.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Clinton shared that the rumors she was planning to run were not true.

The Washington Examiner reported more details on Clinton’s response to the rumors:

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton, is not running for New York’s vacant House seat in 2026.

A spokesperson for Chelsea Clinton told the Washington Examiner that “there is no truth to this” when asked about reports speculating that she would launch a bid for the seat held by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).

“She is not considering a run,” the spokesperson said.

The news comes after a few days of speculation about who will join what is expected to be a crowded Democratic primary to replace Nadler. The longest-serving New Yorker, whose career spans over three decades in Congress, announced Monday he wouldn’t seek reelection after heeding calls of generational change from the younger members of the Democratic base.

This is not the first time the former first daughter has been in the mix for a House seat. In 2019, former Rep. Nita Lowey announced she would not seek reelection in 2020. A powerhouse Democrat who was the first woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee, Lowey’s retirement set off speculation that Chelsea Clinton may seek her seat.

In 2018, the younger Clinton told the Journal News that “if someone were to step down or retire,” she would “have to think if it’s the right choice for me.”

Despite the spokesperson denying that Chelsea isn’t planning to run, users on X continued to claim she was.

The Hill reported that JFK’s grandson’s name is also being thrown into the mix of potential candidates:

Jack Schlossberg, the 32-year-old grandson of former President Kennedy, is reportedly considering throwing his hat in the ring to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).

In a statement to The New York Times, the social media influencer said it was “certainly a possibility” that he would run to succeed Nadler, who first took office just weeks before Schlossberg was born.

Nadler announced this week he would not seek an 18th term in Congress. He told the Times that while he once might have considered holding the seat until his death, the 78-year-old was now ready to heed his party’s call for generational change.

“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler told the Times in a Monday interview announcing his retirement.

He said a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”
