Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) will not seek re-election next year, ending his 34-year tenure in Congress.

Nadler opted for retirement, citing the need for generational change within his party, The New York Times reported Monday. The 78-year-old was reluctant to step aside amid the party's opposition to President Donald Trump's erosion of democratic foundations.

“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 said. He added that a younger congress member could “maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”
