Chelsea Clinton Eyeing Run For Congress: Report
Martin Walsh 1 hour ago
Rumors are circulating that Chelsea Clinton may be thinking about running for Congress in New York’s 12th District after longtime Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler announced that he will not seek re-election.
As Democratic strategists consider potential candidates who could win over voters in a rapidly expanding field, reports have emerged regarding Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But she has said several times over the years that she does not want to get involved in politics.
Nadler’s retirement concludes his 30-year tenure in Congress, during which he chaired the House Judiciary Committee while President Donald Trump was impeached for the first time. His leaving means that one of New York’s most important Democratic seats will be open for the first time in decades, which is causing a power struggle among local Democrats.
Nadler is the 10th most senior member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the 8th most senior Democrat.
Bringing up Chelsea Clinton’s name in the debate shows how strong the Clinton political brand is in Democratic circles. This also raises the question of whether a family with such strong ties to Washington could run for government again in the next generation.
