Maine Gov. Janet Mills, 77, won't commit to release her medical records in her 2026 bid for Senate, Axios has learned, as her Democratic primary opponents call for a new generation of leadership in Congress.
Why it matters: If she wins, Mills would be the oldest first-term senator elected in U.S. history — 79 when she'd take office in January 2027. Congress now has more members over 70 than any time since at least 1950, increasing scrutiny on their fitness for office.
