Senator Chuck Schumer’s sudden decision on Thursday to support a draft law written on Republicans to avoid the government’s closure until his colleagues angered so that some people are already talking about the basic challenges of the 74 -year -old Democratic leader from New York.
The eruption of anger over Mr. Shomer Al -Zahir’s surrender has pushed to the general gap that appeared as one of the deepest and most dependent transformations of the Democratic Party.
The younger Democrats who complain and complain increasingly about what they see as a weakness of the efforts of the old guards to respond against President Trump. They are guessing that the party leaders-like Mr. Shomer, whose phone tops the face as a pride point-they continue their mission in the era of Tijk, where Republicans dominate the city’s digital square.
They are asking the party to develop a bolder political agenda that can answer the despair of tens of millions of people who are struggling financially at a time when belief in the American dream depends.
In other words, the younger generation is done with respect.
Some people who argue with more strictness in opposition to Mr. Trump says that party elders tend to be less comfortable with the endless type of political war that is called.
“Our party needs more fighting.” “This is not a natural administration, and they are ready to do serious things.”
He said the division is “not only along the generations lines.” “But I think the newer and younger members may get this intuitively.”
Mr. Deluzio said that the Democrats who were elected before the Trump era tend to remember wonderful memories of the field and friendship across the corridor. He said: “Those of us are younger or came to Congress recently, we have no experience in some days when things were more functional and all parties brought.”
Alexandria actress Okasio-Cortez from New York, who rushed to the political scene by killing a giant from the party in a fundamental challenge of 2018, clearly refused to drop a question about a future issue against Mr. Shomer, who was not in his vote again until 2028. Himself.
The recipes of each younger legislator may vary. But many of them talk about the need to fight and act. Actor Jake Ocenklos of Massachusetts, 37, said that Democrats need an ambitious strategy to address the educational deficit resulting from the Corona virus’s pandemic, and to encourage housing building and assume social media companies that raise the social fabric.
“I am interested in ideas. Do we have great ideas for how to judge better than Trump?” He said. “The younger legislators have this sense of urgency and narrow.”
This urgency also pushes the younger Democrats to try to enter their elders from the road. Some older Democrats in the House of Representatives have already been pushed from the main congress functions. The main main competitors laid the basis for trying to expel more senior legislators completely, with former spokesman Nancy Pelosi, 84, among those who target.
In the private sector, legislators decrease from 30 and 40 years about having to decipher the secrets of the Internet for their older colleagues; One of them said that she had recently had an explanation of another home member.
“The generation that we have reached this point does not have skills or stomach to transfer us to the next point,” said Amanda Litman, who is leading a nomination for something, a progressive group that recruits the younger and varied Democrats to search for his local position.
Mrs. Lytman said that she had already heard of at least half of the young men of the young man – more than ever – who are planning the basic challenges in Congress in 2026.
“I will not be surprised by a vision, if it is not a reward for the Tea Party, a wave of competitors against old democracy occupations in particular.” “It will not be ideological. It will be the style.”
Biden waste
The party that raised its fortunes in 2024 on a 81 -year -old standard holder sees reminders everywhere one of the risk of relying on older leaders:
Actor John Larson from Connecticut, 76, Freezing For more than a minute last month after suffering a A complex partial seizure “ On the floor of the house.
Mr. Shomer and actor Maxine Waters in California, 86, “We will win!” In a demonstration that inspired a little beside the eye rolls and the gathering of younger Democrats.
Or the representative of the Green family from Texas, 77, He waved his stick In Mr. Trump, during the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress. (“If the Democrats want to be a 77 -year -old Congress member, the face of their resistance, they wander around the president, then bring him,” council Mike Johnson, chief Republican in the room, after one day.)
“He comments on everything,” said Tyson Brody, a democratic strategic expert,. “It becomes a very elegant explanation for the reason we lost, and what to fix, people from all ideologies can lagward. It is an abbreviation for” How can we rename Democrats? “
Age, of course, is an incomplete way to measure all various democratic differences.
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 83, was in the storm of the battlefield and withdraws large crowds of youth, making his popular economic cause against Republicans.
On Thursday, Mr. Shomer explained his decision to vote to keep the government open in An opinion article in the New York TimesA copy of it Read in the Senate Hall.
“Although the continuous decision is poor, I think the government’s closure is much worse,” said Mr. Shomer.
A group of new Democratic Senators did not agree to his approach, including Senator Elisa Slockene of Michigan, 48, who was paid by Mr. Shomer to provide his party’s response to the congressional speech to Mr. Trump this month.
There is no party that monopolizes the generosity: Senator Mitch McConnell, 83, the former Republican leader, recently He announced that he will not seek to be re -elected. In December, former actor Kai Granger, 82, a Republican in Texas, discovered that he resides in it A large living facility While he is still in office. There is Mr. Trump, 78, who has become the largest person as a president.
However, the Democrats are the ones who wrestle with the issue of age, crowned to the middle of the period 2026 with many Senate members over 70 years-Dec Dorbine from Illinois (80), Ed Marki of Massachusetts (78), Jack Red from Rod Island (75)-either to continue the elections or have not yet been excluded.
David Huj, 24, was recently elected as Vice -President of the National Democratic Committee, since the elections said that Mr. Biden should not have been nominated in 2024, that Democrats need a youth movement.
This does not mean that we do not need experienced persons in the party. “We are doing completely,” said Mr. Huj. “But for God, we really need some young leaders as well.”
Mr. Hug, one of the survivors of Parkland 2018, Florida, who shot schools who built a national file talking about armed violence, said that the Democrats in particular wanted leaders able to exploit the media scene as “origin” instead of “managed it as the responsibility that has become many people in our party.”
He said: “We have only one member of Gen Z in Congress that was elected in the last elections,” noting Maxwell Frost, 28, Democrat in Florida. “That’s crazy.”
In fact, younger Democrats tend to communicate with voters in more honest ways online.
Actress Sarah Jacobs from California, 36 – who said she had recently had to explain what she was Bodcast for his democratic colleague who would not call him – send “Get with me” Videos on Instagram Discussing complex policy issues during the application of makeup.
“Democrats won people who watched cable news and read newspapers,” said Ms. Jacobs. “We have lost people who do not feel that they are part of politics at all. And so, how do we go to them, instead of continuing to try to force them to come to us?”
“Old Vergings”
Democrats in the younger parliament even before Mr. Trump took office, when three of them succeeded in challenging older, and more than senior colleagues in positions of classification members in the judiciary, agriculture and strong natural resources.
Of course, young people are relative in Congress: the highest democracy in the judiciary is now 62 years old, instead of 77 years. And one of the developed Democrats, actor Raul Grachleva from Arizona, He died on Thursday.
A Democrat in the Fourth Parliament, Mrs. Okasio Cortez, 35, lost her attempt to lead the Democrats of the Jerry Connoli Control Committee from Virginia, 74, a month after he said it was Fight esophageal cancer.
Actor Pat Ryan from New York, 42, who delivered a nomination letter to Mrs. Okasio Cortez, recalled that he told his colleagues that while they did not agree on everything ideologically, it was the type of “fighter” that the party now needed.
Mr. Ryan said that the largest factor in the legitimacy event was not age, but rather the period of service in Washington, as new lawmakers were more willing to bear the risks and the ability to fully and original.
Mr. Ryan said: “If you go out in the ancient world where it rises in the ranks slowly and carefully, then this type of training is nearly from you.” “While if you entered the post -experience, you were really motivated by many of that paragraph and emotion.”
New legislators compare notes, among other ways, through a text series limited to Democrats in the House of Representatives who served five or less periods.
One of the current Democrats who can face a competitor in 2026 is the actor Stephen F. Lynch from Massachusetts, 69, who took office in 2001. Press At an event in Boston last month to be more assertive against Mr. Trump, saying that this was in the interest of the country, Mr. Lynch prepared.
“I must decide that,” said Mr. Linch. “He repeats the phrase four times. “Do you want to decide that? You need to run for Congress.”
Among those who saw the exchange of Patrick Rutth, 38, who is a lawyer and one -time assistant for former ruler Dival Patrick of Massachusetts, who said in an interview that he was thinking about the basic round against Mr. Lynch.
“It is not an explicit thing,” said Mr. Rutth. “But these jobs are not supposed to be held for decades.”
One of the advertisers in another place is Saikat Chakrabarti, 39, former chief of staff of Mrs. OCASIO-Cortez, who is nominated against Mrs. Pelosi in San Francisco.
“We are at the moment of this crisis, and you see the seniority model of the Democratic Party collapses,” said Mr. Chairperati.
He said that the old democratic goalkeeper does not understand the depth of the nation’s problems, nor how the Republicans became difficult to solve.
Mrs. Okasio Cortez 2018 Shock “It was drawn as the left against the center,” he said. “It is no longer the case. It is a change against the current situation now. It is old against the youth.”
