Graham’s Death Highlights Congress’s Age Issue

The passing of Senator Lindsey Graham underscores a significant issue facing Congress: its aging membership. With the Senate's average age surpassing 65, questions about the physical and mental fitness of its members are increasingly pressing. This situation highlights broader concerns about the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of legislative processes as more seasoned lawmakers retire without a clear pipeline of younger talent. It’s a wake-up call for both parties to address this demographic shift proactively.
