Jim Clyburn, 85, Will Run for Reelection

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Thursday he will seek another term in Congress, bucking a trend of generational change that has prompted other older House Democrats to retire.

The 85-year-old is poised to be the third-oldest member of Congress if reelected, with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), 85, and former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), 86, both retiring.

Reps. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), 88, and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), 87 — the only two other members of Congress older than Clyburn — are both running for reelection.
