Rep. James Clyburn, 85, to Run for House Again

Representative James Clyburn has announced his intention to run for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives. This marks his 18th term in Congress.

Clyburn is a member of the Democratic Party and currently serves as the third-ranking Democrat in the House. He represents South Carolina’s 6th congressional district.

According to reports, Clyburn has launched his re-election bid despite some speculation that he may be stepping down due to generational change within the party.
