Maxine Waters Refuses To Back Age Limits For Congress In Capitol Exchange

At 87, Waters is among the oldest serving members of Congress, though several lawmakers in both the House and Senate are well into their 70s and 80s, The New York Post reported.

The debate over age limits has intensified in recent years following concerns surrounding Biden’s age during his presidency, as well as broader questions about long serving lawmakers remaining in office well into advanced age

Supporters of age restrictions argue that leadership turnover is necessary to reflect younger generations and modern political realities.

Opponents counter that experience, effectiveness, and voter choice matter more than numerical age, as Waters made clear exactly where she stands in that debate.
