Facing Younger Primary Challenger, Waters Says No One Is Too Old To Serve

“He’s made unkept promises. He is enriching himself and his family with cryptocurrency. He is absolutely committed to empowering himself,” she said.

Wasserman then returned directly to the age issue, asking whether there should be an age limit for the presidency.

Waters again rejected the premise.

“People should be evaluated and thought of in terms of what they do,” she said.

He pressed further, asking whether even a hypothetical 100-year-old “fighter” should still be allowed to serve in office.

“The people should evaluate who should be in office with their vote, and that’s it,” she said.

At 87 years old, Waters is among the oldest serving members of Congress and is facing a stiff primary challenger from a younger progressive candidate.
