I am pleased to announce that I will be the President of a new 501(C)4, @AmAscent_. America’s geriatric leadership class has presided over American decline for too long. It is time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans. We will scout, equip, and elevate a new generation of American statesmen capable of defending and advancing the American way of life under siege. Nearly 60% of Americans believe the current share of elderly lawmakers in Congress is a major problem, while 80% of Americans support a maximum age limit for congressional candidates. In March 2026, Americans told YouGov they would rather nominate the younger of two congressional primary candidates they liked by a margin of 46% to 11%. Voters made that preference clear in the 2026 midterms. Currently in the 119th Congress, 70% of the Senate and 47% of the House are over 60 years old. Based on current election results, 63% of the Senate and 41% of the House will be over the age of 60 in the next Congress.  Generational turnover is inevitable, and the coming years present extraordinary opportunities for those with the courage and fortitude to serve. We have a powerhouse team, featuring @bradleydevlin, @poastgate, @jacksonhines57, and a great board, featuring @TomKlingenstein, @tylerbowyer, @DissidentClint, and Ben Judge. I have full confidence that American decline will come to an end. The next generation will lead America’s ascent.
