The way the Senate works, as you know, it’s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.

It's up to his colleagues to determine if they want such a coward, such a liar, to be their leader, and or maybe even speaker.

We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.
