## Summary

American Ascent, a new Republican political group, says it will recruit and support younger America First candidates to challenge older GOP incumbents in 2028. Its leaders argue that younger voters want a renewed focus on domestic concerns, including living costs and housing, and oppose what they describe as foreign adventurism.

The group launched on Monday as a 501(c)(4) and plans to identify potential candidates and train them through a programme called the Fellowship for American Ascent. The article cites polling indicating that nearly 60% of Americans see the number of elderly lawmakers as a major problem and 80% support an age limit for congressional candidates. It also says 70% of senators and 47% of House members in the current Congress are over 60.
