Rep. Jerry Nadler has dropped out of the race for ranking member on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, according to his spokesperson. The decision comes after Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) launched his bid to unseat Nadler as the panel’s top Democrat.
Nadler, a veteran New York Democrat and the dean of the state’s House delegation, has been the top Judiciary Committee Democrat since 2017. He served as a manager of Trump’s first impeachment.
