Voters in North Dakota on Tuesday backed a constitutional amendment that would impose age restrictions on congressional candidates. The new measure bans people from running for a House or Senate seat in North Dakota 'if that person could attain 81 years of age by December 31st of the year immediately preceding the end of the term.' 61% of voters on Tuesday approved the measure, while 39% opposed it.
The measure, which doesn't affect any current federal officeholders from North Dakota, comes as voters voice concerns about the ages of President Joe Biden, who is 81, and former President Donald Trump, who is turning 78 this week, as they each vie for another term as president. There are currently three senators over 80: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
