In Washington, D.C., a significant trend revolves around books authored by mainstream media figures, insiders, and aides. These books are shedding light on Joe Biden’s diminishing mental state during his four years in the White House. Moreover, there was concern among Americans that, at 82, Biden was too old to seek reelection. Aging is a universal occurrence, but it appears some older members of Congress are unwilling to step down.
Rosa DeLauro, an 82-year-old Democrat congresswoman from Connecticut, has served for 34 years and opposes term limits. She intends to remain in Congress until she reaches 100 years of age. This defiance underscores the belief among some politicians that age should not be a barrier to continued service.

The Democratic Party is grappling with the perception that seniority does not apply to its members. Despite this, numerous older Democrats are gearing up for reelection in 2026. More than half of the 30 House Democrats aged 75 or older have confirmed their candidacy for another term, signaling a commitment to staying in office despite their advanced age.
