Former Hillary Clinton aide, Peter Daou, who led digital operations for Clinton's 2008 campaign, is contemplating running against House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler.
The revelation came about when Daou joined MSNBC's Ari Melber.
"The Democratic Party leadership needs to change. And I'll be perfectly frank. I've floated this and I'm actually seriously considering. I've been a long-time Upper West Side resident of Manhattan and I'm considering running to primarily Representative [Jerry] Nadler," Daou said.
"People would argue Chairman Nadler, more than Pelosi, has been trying to push for impeachment, which what you're talking about," Melber said.
On the other hand, there's a large faction of her caucus that is more progressive and wants these "Bold approaches" to things, like impeaching President Trump.
Nadler has represented the same district since 1992.
By all accounts Nadler's seat should be considered "Safe" but he may be in real danger if progressives feel as though he's not pushing hard enough or advocating for progressive policies as much as they'd like.
