Alright, so Jerry Nadler was first elected in 1992 and he served over three decades in the US House of Representatives, representing the Manhattan district in New York. Most recently, New York’s 12th, making him one of the longest serving members in Congress. It’s crazy that he’s been there a long, long time. As chair of the House Judiciary Committee from 2019 to 2023, he led impeachment proceedings against President Trump, you might remember. Notably, he served as a ranking member before stepping down in late 2024 when Jamie Raskin launched the challenge.

Now, some of the anti-gun legislation that Nadler pushed includes assault weapon bans, the Protecting Our Kids Act. As chair of the House Committee on the Judiciary, Nadler led passage of bills including the reinstated assault weapons ban, a bill that we covered here live on this channel, I think that was like a 10-hour livestream, and his own signature Protecting Our Kids Act, which he described as an extensive sweeping gun safety package targeting issues like trafficking and ghost guns. He also was behind the expansion of universal background checks, the Bipartisan Background Check Act of 2021, and he backed H.R.

1446, which was the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021. Those were to broaden and strengthen background check requirements, but it was a registry hidden in there. He played a central role in passing H.R. 8, which aimed to close background check loopholes and gun sales. He was very big in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, very influential in the debates on that, and that’s been called the most significant piece of federal gun control that’s been enacted since 1994. He was also behind the comprehensive federal gun safety resolutions that he did on August 21st of this year.

He, along with Representative Dan Goldman, introduced the House Resolution in the wake of a mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, and it condemned the tragedy and called for an assault weapons ban and a universal background check, as well as the implementation of red flag laws, and I covered that here on this channel about 10 days ago. It’s been reported that Nadler remarked, quote, watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change. A time he steps out of office here. Now, with 34 years in Congress, stepping down early from his current term means he’ll leave when it ends in January, 2027, giving room for a full campaign cycle.

So when he’s not leaving today, he is leaving at the end of his term, which is going to be January 27. So the midterms coming up are going to be big for his district. His decision is also kind of symbolic. He’s among four other senior House Democrats retiring without pursuing another office amid a push to modernize the party leadership and go with younger people. He joins the other retiring congressmen in the Democrat party, Lloyd Doggett of Texas, Danny K. Davis of Illinois, Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania, and Jan Schakowsky in Illinois as well.

So who could might take his seat? Well, the race is already heating up. He announced this yesterday, but people have already come out saying they’re interested. One person’s already declared, but it’s Manhattan. It’s New York. So the chance we get a constitutional conservative in this new election, and especially in this turn to younger policymakers, is probably slim to none at best. Now, Nadler’s retirement signals a turning point for the Democratic party, especially in urban areas like Manhattan. And while his departure does mark the end of an influential era for him in the Democrat party, it would be one less thorn in the side of two-way advocates and two-way groups as well.

Now, as I mentioned, we are losing a fairly decent, nowhere near perfect Second Amendment defender, if you want to say that in the Senate as well. U.S. Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa today, moments right before I hit record, just announced that she will not seek reelection in her in 2026 for her next term. So she will be retiring after two terms in the Senate. Ernst, who is 55, is relatively young when it comes to senators and congressmen. She was elected in the Senate in 2014, becoming the first woman to represent Iowa and the first female combat veteran to serve in the upper chamber.

In her announcement today, Ernst said, quote, this was no easy decision. I never imagined this farm girl would have an opportunity to serve as a lieutenant colonel and then a United States senator. During her two terms, Ernst, you know, she did back and she even submitted some bills, she did back a lot of two-way bills and she even submitted the fighting, irrational, regulatory enforcement to avert Retailers’ Misfortune Act, the Firearm Act, which looked to protect FFLs, so federal firearms licensees, from the Biden administration’s zero-tolerance attacks. But, there’s always a but, she was one of the Republican senators that Rhino John Cornyn of Texas successfully convinced to join him in voting yes on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the biggest piece of gun control legislation in the last 34 years.

If you live in these areas, the ones that I mentioned with Nadler in the House, as well as Joni Ernst here in the Senate, get some good candidates to run for office. Back them, you know, help them out when they can. We do not need more communists running for office. Now, let me know what you think in the comments down below, and if you enjoyed this, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on the bell notifications. There’s an opportunity here for a big shift, especially with the redistricting that’s happening in this country right now.

If you are someone who looks at party affiliation, there could be a chance for Republicans to gain quite a few seats in the House. But, with what’s going on, will they keep the House, or will they lose the House? Will they expand their lead in the Senate? The House right now, if I remember, is 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, two independents. So 53 to 47, because the two independents still caucus with the Democrats. Very slim lead. It’s slimmer than that, actually, because there are some vacancies. For instance, a representative for here in Tennessee just quit after, oh, quit, he retired, but stepped out from office early, left office early, right after the one big, beautiful bill fiasco stuff.

So the lead is not big at all in the House. But we’ll see what happens. I appreciate y’all. Let me know your feelings, your thoughts down below. Jerry Nadler, boop, out. So our other Democrats, boop. Joni Erst, too. So let me know what you think down below. Love to hear your opinions. Hope you’re having a phenomenal day, and take care. Have a great one. See ya. [tr:trw].
