To the new Democrats, Pelosi’s team represents an outdated, backward way of thinking about government.
The radical young voters the Democrats have been courting for years have finally elected like-minded radical young representatives—and Pelosi and her leadership team has no control over them.
The median year of birth for the 59 Democrats who assumed office this year is 1973. Sixteen of these members were born on or after 1980. Nancy Pelosi was born in 1940. The average age of Democratic leadership as a whole is 71. To the new Democrats, the members of leadership are like the grandparents. I don’t mean this in a positive way that could foster an opportunity for maternal or paternal mentorships.
This gap will continue to create massive cross-pressure in the party. For the Democrats who represent moderate districts—perhaps districts that voted for President Trump—the radical left-wing of the party is terrifying. Meanwhile, those who represent radical districts are going to continue having their party and continue to ignore the old guard.
Already, because of Pelosi’s inability to control her caucus, the Democrats can’t do anything positive. It’s making them desperate. The most they can do is focus their efforts on their shared vendetta against President Trump and everyone in his orbit.
