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

“Performance and effectiveness,” she said.

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 launched into criticism of the president’s leadership.

“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.

Wasserman then returned directly to the age issue, asking whether there should be an age limit for the presidency.

Waters again rejected the premise.

“People should be evaluated and thought of in terms of what they do,” she said.

He pressed further, asking whether even a hypothetical 100-year-old “fighter” should still be allowed to serve in office.

“The people should evaluate who should be in office with their vote, and that’s it,” she said.
