Well, Blunt is 71, Shelby 86. Portman 65, Burr 65.
All will be past normal retirement age in two years.
Maybe, at least some, really want to retire!
Did you ever consider that some people just want to retire, when they reach certain age?
The senate term is 6 years. Blunt would be older at the end of his next term than Resident Bidet is nowadays.
No. They are “retiring” just at the point of seniority where it is THEY who chair the committees they have been sitting on for 30 years.
