US presidential candidates' age 'alienating' younger voters

This comes amid the upcoming US elections where both candidates’ ages are in the spotlight.

“We’ve never had two candidates this old,” Mr Desipio told Sky News Australia.

“Whichever one is inaugurated, if he serves out his term will be the oldest president.

“It’s alienating younger voters and I think they are the electorate that is the most the target of both campaigns at this point.”
