Democrats are too old.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

43. They are actually very similar....

"In the House, the 30 newly elected first-time Republican representatives skew a bit older than their 31 Democratic counterparts: The median age of freshmen House Republicans is 51.7, compared with 50.2 for first-time Democrats in that chamber.

Overall, the median age of House Democrats is 57.6, while the median age of House Republicans is 57.5.

In the Senate, the median age of all Democrats is 66.0, a bit higher than the median for Republicans (64.5)."*

Even though America is currently older than ever, the median age of an American is around 39 years old.** This makes the House on average 18 years older than the average American; while the Senate is 26 years older than the average American.
