Trump's opponent says the US Senate is a 'nursing home'

Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley

"Do you think it's time to put term limits in Washington, DC?", The Hill quoted Ms. Haley at a rally in Conway, South Carolina. "Do you think we need to give mental capacity tests to anyone over 75?", according to Ms. Haley.

"The US Congress is becoming the most privileged nursing home in the country," Ms. Haley likened.

Ms. Haley stressed that it is important that American voters know that the people making important decisions about the future of the economy and national security must be the best and at the peak of their abilities.

Ms. Haley, 52 years old, continuously attacked the age of political opponents, including President Biden (82 years old) and former President Donald Trump (78 years old).

Winning again, Mr. Trump said his opponent had no chance.

The former US Ambassador to the UN said it was time for the US Congress to elect younger generation leaders, after US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly "froze" for several seconds while answering reporters in September 2023.

Mr. McConnell is the same age as Mr. Biden at 82 years old and has so far refused to retire after many people expressed concerns about his health.
