Age Old Problem

Rep. Steve Cohen, 76, is fighting to keep his seat against 31-year-old Justin Pearson, a Black state lawmaker. It’s a battle that’s getting increasingly heated, with Cohen’s experience pitted against Pearson’s youthful energy.

A National Trend

This primary isn’t just about Memphis – it’s part of a larger national push to get younger blood into politics. Pearson’s campaign is all about change, and he’s not afraid to take on the old guard. Cohen, on the other hand, says his experience is what’s needed to get things done in Washington.

It’s a ridiculous situation, really. On one hand, you’ve got a seasoned politician who knows the ropes, but is also, well, old. On the other, you’ve got a young gun who’s full of ideas, but don’t know the first thing about how things work in DC. It’s a tough choice for voters, but one thing’s for sure – it won’t be boring.
