The average campaign dollar now comes from a 67-year-old donor—up from 61 just eight years ago. As political money concentrates among the elderly, younger candidates face mounting barriers to entry.
There is also a huge transfer of wealth currently taking place as boomers die and pass their wealth to their children and grandchildren. It’s always been the case that the older generation has more wealth.
