Breitbart News reports that impeachment-obsessed anti-Trump leftist Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said he “absolutely” will be running in the 2022 midterm elections, denying growing speculation that the longtime congressman is thinking of retiring.
A report in November from the New York Post suggested Nadler may call it quits after his current two-year term expires in 2022. One insider told the Post, “The congressman has refused to give a straight answer when the subject comes up.”
In addition, the 73-year-old Nadler has struggled with health problems in recent years. In 2019, he nearly collapsed and had to be rushed to a hospital during a press conference with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Nadler claimed that, due to the “very warm” room, he “felt a bit ill” and was “obviously dehydrated.”
In 2002, he underwent gastric bypass surgery after facing “decades of health-threatening obesity” and peaking at 338 pounds. He wrote, at the time: “I want to live to see my grandchildren grow up … How many grossly overweight 80-year-olds do you know?”
His personal health aside, the health of the country would be better served by the far-left Nadler’s retirement.
