Congress isn’t getting any younger.
In fact, compared with the previous session, it’s 79 days older, and the third oldest in U.S. history.With an average member age of 58.9 years old, the 119th Congress is the third oldest since 1789, according to an NBC News analysis of congressional membership and birth-date data. It shows that while the Senate got a little younger, the House aged, and that baby boomers are losing seats to Generation X and millennials.
