      Mark Kelly is 60. The ideal age for a first-time presidential candidate is 57, so they can retire after two terms and retire at 65. Mark is 3 years past ideal, but still 18 years younger than Trump is now.

      He and his twin brother could both complete two full terms and still be 2 years younger than Trump is now.

      Mark should be at the top of the ticket, though. He is far more competitive in the contested states.

      He’s 60 years young. That is younger than average for a congressman.

      He can’t even collect social security for a few more years.
