Battleground State Voters Demand Term Limits!

In this podcast:

-A major study of nearly 20,000 Americans in competitive states and districts finds bipartisan support for congressional term limits, independent redistricting commissions, restrictions on political money, stock-trading bans, and Supreme Court ethics rules.

-Candidates from both parties make government reform a central campaign message, promoting term limits and measures to curb corruption, insider trading, and special-interest influence.

-The debate over aging lawmakers intensifies as examples of congressional health concerns and lengthy political careers fuel calls for term limits, age limits, and cognitive testing.

-Historical Senate data shows little meaningful partisan advantage in congressional tenure, reinforcing the argument that term limits are a nonpartisan reform with broad potential for bipartisan support.

-Political commentator John Fund argues that Congress itself has become the strongest case for term limits, contending that lawmakers' reluctance to relinquish power prevents popular reforms from advancing and threatens effective representative government.
