Democrats grapple with age of candidates during primaries
Democratic incumbents in Congressional primaries are facing challengers calling for younger or more progressive lawmakers.

The debate highlights balancing seniority and legislative commitment (like Social Security) against the need for party energy to oppose Donald Trump.
