    The new measure bans people from running for a House or Senate seat in North Dakota “if that person could attain 81 years of age by December 31st of the year immediately preceding the end of the term.”

    I know this is for congressional seats, but Biden will be 81 this November and Trump will be 78. Seems like such a coincidental age to pick red state…

      If it applied to President, it would include Trump, unless I’m reading it wrong. Trump just turned 78, he will turn 81 in 2027, the year prior to the end of the term for which he’d be running.
