Maxine Waters Faces Primary from Young Challenger 34 Years Her Junior
Democrat Myla Rahman is challenging Rep. Maxine Waters in a primary, aiming to use Waters' 35 years in Congress against her and appeal to younger voters disillusioned with party stalwarts.
Democrat Myla Rahman is challenging 34-year veteran Rep. Maxine Waters in her primary election bid, capitalizing on Waters' 35 years in Congress to argue that she's stuck in the past. Rahman aims to bring a fresh perspective to the role, while also highlighting Waters' age as a potential liability in the eyes of younger voters. Waters has been serving in Congress since 1991 and is widely regarded as one of the longest-serving members of Congress. The primary election will be a test of whether her decades-long tenure has made her out of touch with modern Democrats.
