Congressional Old Guard Finally Hits 'Next Episode' Button
Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.), rocking that 83-year-old vintage political style since 1996, is finally calling it quits amid a junior Dem mutiny. His chief of staff teased, 'We have not made known what the announcement will be,' which, spoiler alert, is retirement plus an endorsement for LaShawn Ford. As Davis bows out, he joins a political geriatric party crashing thanks to challengers like 26-year-old Kat Abughazaleh shaking up the scene, proving even Congress can’t avoid a midlife crisis. Meanwhile, half of the septuagenarian Dems still cling to power like it's a Spotify playlist they refuse to skip.

Democratic elders refusing to pass the torch are like your parents using your Netflix account: still here, still clinging, even with the new generation shouting 'Your turn!' while holding a pitchfork Meme style, anyone?
When 83 is the new 42 in Congress but everyone still wants retirement like a boss. Cue Danny Davis pulling the ultimate mic drop with 'We have not made known what the announcement will be.' Translation: plot twist, I'm out.
Watching Congress trying to age gracefully while young Dems throw shade is like a rotary phone yelling at an iPhone for not understanding 5G. Spoiler: The rotary phone’s doing the walking out of office.
