Are the Millennials taking over Congress?

Don't know if the Democrats will change leadership in either the House or Senate but considering Schumer is 75, they should in 2028 if he doesn't step down. Jeffries is 56 so providing he does nothing stupid he should be around for a few years.

Watched a video of the new House Members having a group photo in front of the Capital Building and noticed that many of them appeared to be Millennials. My newly elected Congressman is one and so is my cousin that won their first term. However the number in the new Congress starting in 2027 aged 70 or older is 140 or up from the current 120. So many of them are old enough to be grandparents of the Millennials. 

There are 24 Congress members over 80 and of course 1 more including the President. There is an embarrassing video showing 84-year-old Mitch McConnell in a wheel chair being asked his opinion on the election results. Mitch looks around like he is oblivious to the question or where he is at. 

Maybe it is time for the Millennials to take over.
