In both the Senate and the House of Representatives, Democrats skew a tad older than their Republican counterparts. In the Senate, the average Democratic member of Congress by age is 65 years old, compared to 63 years old for Republicans, with 34% of Democratic senators being 70 or older.
Democrats are also an average of two years older than Republicans in the House, with Democrats averaging 59 years old and Republicans averaging 57. However, Republicans are slightly more represented by those 70 and older, with the group making up 23% of Republican House members, compared to less than 20% among Democrats.
