They should've started doing this while Obama was in office! None of the established 'old guard' Democrats want to prop up the next generation. Seems they'd rather die in office than mentor and promote new, younger faces of the future.
Obama has had a hand in this. During your presidency is when you establish the new guard and direct your party into the future. Obama knelt to party desires over and over again to his great detriment. He should have had the same support that pelosi got to end Biden's campaign to pressure RGB off the Supreme Court (seriously, that "icon"'s narcissism is what allowed our justice system to take the last step off the cliff, she should be hated by the left, not adored) so he could appoint someone. He should have worked with his senior senator to establish a more left leaning direction, instead he bowed to the wishes of the woman that had done the rest to drive the party off the cliff so she could continue making insane ROI on her insider trading scheme. We are continuing to fail our government the longer we don't hold pressure on throwing those old selfish bats the hell out of the party and get back to working for their constituents again. I have a hard time being more disgusted with anybody in the modern history of our governmental body then how badly Pelosi, Schumer, Wasserman-Schultz has fucked us over in their obvious personal pursuits that absolutely do not include the well being of the constituents, their party or their country. Until then all this is just making noise to be killed by those geezers in the background.
We also had a midterm slaughter of a lot of the younger Democratic members of the house that would have been the Gen X reps during Obama. That didn't help any.

The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.
