The Senate’s average age falls to 63.
Look first at who’s coming in: incoming senators are nearly 15 years younger on average than those leaving. Then widen the frame to the Senate itself. Its average age after the midterms is 63, and the chamber’s overall age has barely shifted. So the change is real at the handoff, but much less dramatic across the whole institution: a younger incoming class, and a Senate average that moves only a little.
