So why won't the boomers retire? matched

I asked 17-term Congressman Jim Clyburn that exact question. matched

kept being asked, how do you feel? matched

Clyburn, who turned 86 just this week, is running for reelection in South Carolina again. matched

And I kept answering, I feel fine. matched

And they said, well then, why would you quit? matched

This week on America Actually, Congressman Clyburn makes the case for experience and the establishment. matched

Let's dig in. matched

On this show, we like to think about American politics beyond the question of the day-to-day administration. matched

And a big thing that comes up in that lens is the generational gap that had been exposed in a lot of areas in our politics. matched

There is a universal desire for generational change that we hear all the time. matched

And I don't have to remind you that it's a big reason why President Biden was forced to abandon his reelection bid in 2024. matched

Now, the generational gaps in our politics have only become more important in the age of AI and fast-moving technology. matched

But it's a delicate issue, and you have to approach it carefully. matched

So I wanted to start by asking you all, what's the best way to think about age in politics? matched

So should we cap the age for holding office? matched

Yeah, you see people making the distinction between age and cognitive ability. matched

That's all I got to say. matched

Bye. matched

All right. matched
