American Mirror: A recent Congressional Research Service profile of the 115th Congress highlights the rising age of lawmakers, an issue that continues to plague Democrats with calls for fresh blood in leadership.
The average age of members in the 115th Congress is 57.8 years for representatives and 61.8 years for senators – “among the highest of any Congress in recent U.S. history,” according to the report.

There’s not much difference in the nonsense they promoted when they were 10 or 30 years younger and senile crap they spout now.
Pelosi is so old she remembers when the dead sea was sick.
