Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is retiring from Congress, has endorsed his former aide Micah Lasher as a candidate to succeed him. This endorsement comes amid a competitive race for the district’s seat.
The development follows former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s public support for Jack Schlossberg, a member of the Kennedy family, who is also running for the same seat.
**Why this matters**
Endorsements from prominent political figures like Nadler and Pelosi can significantly influence voter perceptions and campaign dynamics. Their backing highlights the high-profile nature of the race to fill the open congressional seat.
