Nadler is younger than Trump. Still, I'd be happy if he stepped aside for Raskin, who is smart as hell and communicates really well. He's also a Constitutional scholar.

The Dems don’t term limit their committee chairs in Congress, so that leads to some messy caucus fights when the old guard is slow to move on.

State of play: Raskin, 61, is the the current ranking member of the House Oversight Committee and a former Jan. 6 committee member.

Nadler, 77, has led Democrats on the Judiciary Committee since 2017 and said in a letter last month he is seeking to retain his role.
There have been pervasive concerns about Nadler's ability to lead his panel in opposition to Republicans and President-elect Trump.

Zoom out: This would be the third battle between a septuagenarian committee ranking member and one or more relatively younger challengers.

Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) is challenging House Natural Resources Committee ranking member Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) for his role.
And Reps. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) and Jim Costa (D-Calif.) are both vying to oust Agriculture Committee ranking member David Scott (D-Ga.).
In addition to the impending Republican trifecta, Democrats' lack of committee term limits is a significant driver behind these efforts.

Nadler being younger than Trump is actually one of his arguments for keeping the job.  

He’s basically “but Trump”ing his candidacy.

The other side: "I am ready, willing, and able to take on Donald Trump and the House Republicans. I am younger than President Trump, and I have fought him my entire career both in NY and Washington, DC," Nadler said in a statement to Axios.

Watching the dems. in-fighting tear themselves apart
 My only question is, who will be the one to stab Nadler in the back.

As we all know low life  dems are famous or infamous for backstabbers.  

 
Even though rat-skin is 16 years younger than blubber- boy it should be an even fight
Scumbag vs scumgag
