A Democratic congresswoman is calling for “new blood” in her own party.
During an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) was asked if she would support President Joe Biden if he runs again in 2024.
Slotkin explained she would support him and that the party would support him.
However, Slotkin noted she has been very vocal that the party needs a “new generation.”
She continued, “We need new blood, period, across the Democratic Party in the House, the Senate and the White House.”
Slotkin pointed out she is “one of just a handful” of members of Congress who has not voted for Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as House speaker.
The congresswoman also said Congress needs new leaders from the midwest.
“That’s been important to me, is to reflect the middle of the country,” Slotkin said. “We’re here too.”

Pelosi recently received criticism and sparked calls for new leadership, as IJR reported.
