Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and U.S. senator from Utah, recently expressed his opinion that individuals 80 and older should not be at the nation’s helm.
Romney’s Comments
Romney made these comments during an interview on ‘Deseret Voices’ after being jokingly asked if he would run for president in 2028. He noted that the human brain shrinks by 20% by the time one reaches 80 years of age, citing ‘The Body’ by Bill Bryson.
Romney stated, ‘I basically think people who are 80 and above really should not be, uh, running the world or running the country.’ This statement comes as President Donald Trump, who recently turned 80, and former President Joe Biden, who was 82 when he left office, have both held significant leadership positions at an advanced age.
