McConnell's Health Raises Questions on Senate's Advanced Age Median 64

The health condition of Mitch McConnell, 84, has raised questions about the age profile of US senators, with a median age of 64 and over half older than 65. This contrasts with younger European leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron, 48. The Senate's average age prompts concerns about stamina and competence among its members, who often serve well into their senior years due to structural advantages and experience.
