Things keep getting worse for the Democrat Party.
They’re about to lose one of the Party’s biggest names.
Because a judge just issued a surprising ruling that ended a key Democrat’s career.
The New York State Supreme Court recently tossed out a Congressional map created by the Democrat Party, a move that sent their midterm plans into chaos.
Democrats in the state legislature attempted to draw a new map that gave them control of 22 out of 26 of the state’s Congressional seats by eliminating four Republican districts.
However, a judge-ordered a special master to redraw the map.
The new result is five Republican safe seats, six competitive districts, and 15 Democrat strongholds.
But the new map also guarantees that Democrat incumbents will be forced to run against each other in Primary races.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney are now in the same district.
Both are high-profile Democrats, as Nadler oversaw Trump’s impeachment hoaxes and Maloney has served in Congress since 1992.
POLITICO reports:
The maps for New York’s 26 congressional districts will play an instrumental role in whether Democrats can retain control of the House in the midterm elections, and the latest maps drawn by a special master after a successful court case by Republicans would pit several Democrats against one another.
The maps would create five districts that contain the homes of multiple incumbents, potentially setting the stage for several high-profile battles for August and November. Those include a battle for parts of Manhattan between Democratic veteran Reps. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney.
Nadler ripped the proposed lines, but added that “provided that they become permanent, I very much look forward to running in and representing the people of the newly created 12th District of New York.”
Nadler announced his intention to run for re-election the moment the new map was published.

That leaves pundits wondering whether Maloney will take on Nadler in a competitive Primary race, or if she will retire from Congress instead.
Of course, there is little difference in ideology between Nadler and Maloney.
But since Nadler disgraced himself during the impeachment hoaxes, Donald Trump and many of his supporters would surely enjoy seeing him go down in defeat.
