Representative Jamie Raskin has declared his intention to challenge Rep. Jerry Nadler for the key leadership role on the House Judiciary Committee. Raskin sees this position as critical for opposing President-elect Trump's agenda and defending constitutional democracy. His challenge reflects a broader generational shift within the Democratic Party, as younger leaders like Raskin seek to replace veteran representatives in influential positions. Raskin voices strong support among colleagues, while Nadler, 77, faces criticism for his more traditional leadership style. The outcome could determine the direction of Democrats' resistance strategies ahead of a closely contested Congress.
