9:08Now Playing"The oldest member of Congress, 91-year-old Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX), narrowly lost his primary runoff Tuesday night. His opponent, former U.S. Attorney John Ratcliffe, and a super PAC explicitly made the incumbent's age an issue in the campaign — a common tactic against older candidates. According to several political and media experts, in a country where incumbency is generally an advantage to politicians, challengers frequently attempt to play on a youth-centered culture in order to turn experience from an asset to a liability."
