Top 5 Interesting Presidential Election Firsts to Watch For

5. Is Age Just a Number?

The age of the two major-party nominees has been thoroughly covered. Donald Trump is 70 years old, while Hillary Clinton is also 69. Therefore, Trump would be the oldest person ever elected to the Presidency, while Clinton would be the second-oldest to Ronald Reagan. However, a less prominent fact is that Mike Pence is 57 and Tim Kaine is 58. Therefore, no matter who wins the election, it would mark the first time a ticket consisting of two non-incumbent candidates age 57 or older were elected at any point in American history.
