Chances of dying increase with age.

With a razor thin margin in the house, having at least two members over 70 with cancer (Grijalva and Connolly) was a bad idea- they should have retired before 2024.

Bernie isn’t going to run for president again, so that is a moot point, but I do think his current term should be his last.
