A longtime antagonist of President Donald Trump is quitting Congress.

U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler, a Democrat who represents a large portion of Manhattan, also orchestrated an impeach-and-remove campaign against Trump during his first term, but ultimately failed.

Nadler now has announced he will not seek election again next year.

It will mark the end of Nadler’s 34 years in Congress, where he consistently has maintained ultra-liberal and extreme progressive positions.

“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” the outgoing representative. 78, told the New York Times in a statement.

He was referring to Joe Biden’s catastrophically failed campaign for re-election in the 2024 presidential vote, a bid that collapsed after he appeared in a debate with Trump and stumbled, mumbled and fumbled most of the event.

His mental decline already had been evident for considerable time, with him forgetting the names of his family members, his written instructions from staff on where to sit when he entered a meeting, and even his insistence on calling the names of dead people.

The terminal future for Nadler’s career in Congress was apparent when he was forced to relinquish his House Judiciary Committee seat at the beginning of the term, to a younger Democrat.

He repeatedly has warned about Trump, claiming he is pursuing “incipient fascism,” one of the left’s talking points against Trump.

A report at the Gateway Pundit commented, “The 78-year-old lawmaker said that someone younger will do a better job right now as the Democrat party tries to court the younger generation.”

The party’s popularity has been plunging after Kamala Harris was picked by Democrat party elites to replace Biden as last year’s candidate, and lost in a landslide.

The Gateway Pundit pointed out during his impeachment scheme against Trump, “Nadler lied about Trump and viciously attacked him as a ‘dictator’ from the Senate floor.”

Then came the controversial activity during the 2020 election, and ultimately, voters returned Trump to the White House in 2024.
