It's tie to talk about cognitive issues in one of the oldest congresses ever

Congress is staring down Father Time, and The Washington Post broke down “one of the oldest” Congresses ever.

Feinstein serves in the Senate, which has the highest median age in U.S. history at 65. Together with the House, the median age of Congress is 59. While the House does have some younger blood, its median age has been between 57 and 58 for the past decade, according to the Post.
