Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) doesn\u2019t think 100 is too old to serve in Congress, as we reported last week.<\/p>\n

Despite twice being duped by Russian comedians and regularly making little sense, the 87-year-old is hitting the campaign trial once again this year to seek a 19th term, which would have her serving 38 years in office.<\/p>\n

And she\u2019s not alone, as other members of Congress are showing advanced signs of senility and, in some cases, dementia \u2014 but remain determined to stay the course.<\/p>\n

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Florida Democrat Frederica Wilson, 83, has had a month-long, unexplained absence from Capitol Hill, where she has missed over 43 votes since mid-April and has been a total no-show on all her legislative committee work.<\/p>\n

Wilson, a sassy senior known for dressing in pink cowboy getup, has been making increasingly unhinged remarks like demanding \u201can uprising where people are taking to the streets\u201d over immigration enforcement and calls for citizens to phone Republican lawmakers with threats.<\/p>\n

During her absence, Wilson\u2019s social media accounts have shared recycled photos from last year, without disclosure, presumably to trick folks into thinking the lawmaker is well and active. <\/p>\n

Following mounting media pressure, the congresswoman released a statement blaming \u201ceye surgery\u201d for her prolonged absence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get 75, 80 years old, we know 50% of people show mild cognitive impairment. They may look fine reading off a teleprompter\u00a0or repeating canned phrases, but behind the scenes, they\u2019re having what\u2019s called \u2018white matter decline\u2019 in their brain,\u201d Dr. Russell Surasky, a neurologist in Great Neck, NY, told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have a reduced ability to incorporate\u00a0new information, which is obviously critical because that\u2019s what Congress needs to do,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to a police report filed last year, nonvoting District of Columbia Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, 88, has \u201cearly signs of dementia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norton fell victim to a scam when a group showed up at her DC home at a time the \u201ccaretaker\/power of attorney was not at residence\u201d pretending to be HVAC workers. The scammers charged over $4,000 to her credit card.<\/p>\n

The oldest member of Congress, Norton, who recently tried to have a 19th-century slavery emancipation memorial torn down, has been described by friends and colleagues as\u00a0\u201cunable to function independently,\u201d rarely in attendance for committee meetings, and appearing not to recognize people she has known for years, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n

Norton, who has denied accusations she has dementia, has been in Congress since 1991. She is seeking re-election this year.<\/p>\n

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When Mitch McConnell, 84, first came to Washington in 1985, the Soviet Union was still intact and the pinnacle of consumer tech was the newly released Nintendo 8-bit home gaming system.<\/p>\n

Like those old video games, McConnell now unexpectedly freezes up \u2014 except for him, it\u2019s during public appearances. While speaking to reporters on Pentagon policy in July 2023, McConnell, after a reported concussion earlier that year, bizarrely stopped moving and gazed ahead, dead-eyed, for over 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

The same apparent neural glitch happened a month later in a similar situation, and McConnell only snapped out of it after prodding from staff. <\/p>\n

In 2025, he also required brief use of a wheelchair and the same year annouced that this term will be his last.<\/p>\n

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Concerns over Maxine Waters\u2019 incoherent rambling have led many to speculate the 87-year-old California Democrat may be a few fries short of a Happy Meal.<\/p>\n

In 2017, a pair of Russian comedians were able to prank her into believing they were the prime minister of Ukraine and that Russia had \u201cinvaded Gabon\u201d and was interfering in elections in the fictional country of \u201cLimpopo.\u201d Three years later, the same duo pulled the stunt again, pretending to be climate activist Greta Thunberg\u2019s father, calling with urgent climate news about the made-up island of \u201cChongo-Chango.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the congresswoman antagonized Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a House Financial Services Committee hearing, repeatedly interrupting and at one point asking the committee chair, \u201cCan you shut him up?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. John Carter (R-Texas)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Trump-endorsed 84-year-old incumbent Congressman John Carter of Texas has been described by primary challengers as \u201chalf dead,\u201d \u201cworse than Joe Biden,\u201d and his ongoing presence in Washington has been likened to elder abuse by those calling for new blood in the seat.<\/p>\n

Carter, this year running for his 13th term, holds the distinction of having among the most missed roll call votes this century in Congress (803) and appeared to struggle last week reading prepared remarks at a House subcommittee hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretending that this biology of aging stops when you get to the Capitol steps isn\u2019t compassionate. It\u2019s national malpractice,\u201d Surasky said. \u201cSeniority can\u2019t be a senility shield. It\u2019s endangering America because they refuse to pass the torch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After flip-flopping on the question of retirement, Illinois Democrat Danny Davis, 84, finally announced last July he would step down next year, marking three decades in Congress. Also a record-holder on missed votes, Davis has made markedly fewer public appearances since his announcement and has increased reliance on aides, critics say.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou become\u00a0very dependent for your identity on what you do.\u00a0And fear of decline is actually a type of fear of death,\u201d University of Pittsburgh neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon, 85, told The Post. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo your work is your life, or at least the source of your identity. When it declines, you\u2019re in the process of dying, not only physically, but you\u2019re dying emotionally and intellectually.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Munger, author of \u201cGeneration Gap: Why the Baby Boomers Still Dominate American Politics and Culture,\u201d told The Post that several factors came together to result in the Baby Boom generation\u2019s outsized power and influence, including demographic, financial and advances in health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the oldest Congress in [US] history, the oldest president in history and I think this is exacerbated by campaign finance. Some of the biggest donors are also older and they give older candidates bigger weight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Rep. Emanuel\u00a0Cleaver\u00a0(D-Mo.)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At an anti-Elon Musk rally last year, Emanuel Cleaver, 81, left listeners scratching their heads after he struggled through a string of made-up words, telling the crowd to \u201ctake your musty mullyon and musky Moscow rights to the moon, you musty moo moo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The ordained minister became a meme in January 2021 when, leading the opening prayer for a new Congress, he strangely gendered the word \u201camen,\u201d saying \u201camen and awoman,\u201d despite the word translating from Hebrew as \u201cso be it\u201d without any gender markers.<\/p>\n

The strange addition followed other bizarre comments about \u201cdark spirits\u201d in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Cleaver has missed more than triple the median for current House members in roll call votes and has taken to conducting town halls via phone rather than showing up to his district in person. He\u2019s seeking re-election to his 12th term this year.<\/p>\n

Maroon, author of the book \u201cSquare One: A Simple Guide to a Balanced Life,\u201d said that while seniors possess crystalized knowledge (aka wisdom), compared to the ambition and egoism of younger people, it\u2019s common, particularly in politicians and professional athletes, to resist stepping away from the limelight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crux\u00a0of the matter is having the insight to realize that you\u2019re transitioning into another phase,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
