Voters Say Congress Is Too Old, Yet Older Candidates Keep Winning
Original: Voters Say Congress Is Too Old. But Older Candidates Keep Winning.
The New York Times reports a contradiction in American politics: polling consistently shows voters believe Congress is too old, yet older candidates keep winning elections. The piece examines why concerns about age in Washington have not translated into voters rejecting elderly incumbents and candidates at the ballot box.
Why now: Ongoing public debate over the age of senior US politicians keeps the topic prominent.
