The last eight members of Congress to die in office have been Democrats. Why has the Democratic Party been so unwilling to hand power over to the next generation?

1. Representative Gerry Connolly of Virginia

2. Representative Raúl Grijalva of Arizona

3. Representative Sylvester Turner of Texas

4. Representative Bill Pascrell of New Jersey

5. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas

6. Representative Donald Payne of New Jersey

7. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California

8. Representative Donald McEachin of Virginia

What does it say about the current platform of the Democratic Party that so many of their elected representatives are so old that they are dying in office?
