Doubt it will do anything. Besides, all of our elder statesman today were once young whippersnappers taking down the past generation's elder statesman. This is not a modern thing. As someone said above, AOC is in the exact same boat and if she hangs around in Congress long enough she'll have someone younger promising new ideas and thinking. Although she'll probably has enough visibility already to run for President as soon as she gets to the 35 age requirement.

If I were to vote in a presidential
