<p>Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday that it was &#8220;necessary&#8221; for him to &#8220;stay in power&#8221; because it was &#8220;Biblical&#8221; for him.</p>
<p>Clyburn, 82, made the remarks during a Sunday interview with CBS News&#8217; Margaret Brennan on &#8220;Face the Nation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Democrats are holding leadership elections in the coming week, you&#8217;re already in leadership, I know you will be standing for election to a different position,&#8221; Brennan said.</p>
<p>&#8220;But if it is time for a new generation as Speaker Pelosi had said, Why do you think it&#8217;s necessary for you to stay in power?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;Do you think the next generation needs you to guide them?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;ve always said there is a healthy respect, it&#8217;s Biblical with me,&#8221; Clyburn responded. &#8220;We need to have a healthy blend of strength and knowledge and look at our leadership.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The South is left out of it and what I&#8217;m doing is trying to make sure that we do not tilt too far to the east or too far to the west,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But maintain what we have here. There&#8217;s no other southerner among the leadership ranks and we need the south. We need these historically black colleges and universities. If it weren&#8217;t for Georgia, where would the Senate be today? And the last time I checked, Georgia is south of South Carolina.&#8221;</p>
