Long-serving South Carolina Democrat Jim Clyburn says he's running for an 18th term in Congress. The 85-year-old Clyburn is one of the oldest Democrats in Washington and the only member of the last Democratic leadership team who's looking to stick around. He had served as majority whip and assistant Democratic leader. He says he'll keep going as long as his health holds and his family supports him. He won reelection in 2024 by a wide margin. For many years, Clyburn was the highest-ranking Black lawmaker in the House.
