Facing Younger Primary Challenger, Waters Says No One Is Too Old To Serve

Waters made it clear that she does not believe that age alone should determine whether someone is fit for office. “What do they do? What can you document? What can you give them credit for? If you do what it takes to evaluate, then you can decide,” Waters said. When Wasserman suggested voters should focus on what Politicians actually accomplish rather than their age, Waters agreed When Wasserman suggested voters should focus on what politicians actually accomplish rather than their age, Waters agreed. The conversation then shifted toward President Donald Trump after Wasserman asked whether an 80-year-old commander in chief might be too old, referencing prior public concerns over former President Joe Biden’s age. Waters declined to directly engage on Trump’s age and instead “The president of the United States is destroying our democracy,” Waters said. “He’s made unkept promises. He is enriching himself and his family with cryptocurrency. He is absolutely committed to empowering himself,” she said.
