Summary
The 119th U.S. Congress is the third oldest in history, with an average member age of 58.9 years.
The Senate’s average age is 63.8, while the House is 57.7. Baby boomers still dominate the Senate, where nearly half are 65 or older, but Gen X now holds more seats than boomers in the House for the first time.
Millennials make up a small portion, while Maxwell Frost, 27, remains the only Gen Z member.
In total, 20 members of Congress are 80 or older, contrasting with a U.S. median age of 39.1.
This might be an evergreen type of title if age extension/reversal becomes a thing. Just sayin’.
I wonder if we’ll look back at titles like this one with wry amusement in a few decades, much like we look back and chuckle at Internet “explainers” aimed at normies when the 'net went commercial/mainstream in the very early 90s…or debates about “this here Internet thing, is it just a fad?”.
LOL.
