At 87, Maxine Waters shuts down age critics—says even 100 isn’t too old for Congress.

Rep. Maxine Waters sidestepped a question on whether 100 is too old to serve in Congress during a Capitol Hill exchange with a TMZ producer, who pushed the California Democrat on the need for age limits.

At 87, Waters argued that voters—not age—should decide, saying officials should be judged on “performance and effectiveness” as she entered the U.S. Capitol.

“People should evaluate who should be in office with their vote, and that’s it,” she said.

The exchange began when TMZ producer Jacob Wasserman approached her after a Working Families press conference, asking how she responds to younger Americans who believe some leaders stay in power too long.

Maxine Waters emphasized that voters should focus on an elected official’s track record when deciding if they deserve to stay in office.

“What do they do? What can you document? What can you give them credit for? What can you criticize them for?” she said, adding that informed evaluation leads to better choices at the ballot box.

She later summed it up as “performance and effectiveness” when pressed on whether age should matter more than results.

The discussion shifted to President Trump after TMZ producer Jacob Wasserman asked if an 80-year-old president might be “too old,” referencing concerns raised about President Joe Biden.

Waters declined to address Trump’s age directly, instead criticizing his record.

“The president of the United States is undermining our democracy,” Maxine Waters said, adding that he has failed to keep his promises and is “enriching himself and his family through cryptocurrency.”

She said Trump is “fully focused on empowering himself,” adding that voters will ultimately decide his political future.

Maxine Waters noted that “some people are having buyer’s remorse,” pointing to polling trends as evidence of shifting public sentiment.

“In the final analysis, it is the people who will finally determine that this president is dangerous and divisive,” she said.

TMZ producer Jacob Wasserman pressed further, asking whether there should be an age limit for serving as president.

Maxine Waters responded that leaders should be judged by their actions, not their age, saying officials must be assessed based on what they do.

When asked again if a “hundred-year-old fighter” should still hold office, she maintained that the decision should rest with voters.

“The people should evaluate who should be in office with their vote, and that’s it,” she said.
