The trio of top House Democrats - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn - are all running for re-election.
The 81-year-old Clyburn announced Monday he would run for a 15th term, while the 81-year-old Pelosi and 82-year-old Hoyer had previously announced 2022 runs.
Together the octogenarians have a combined age of 244 - and none have committed to stepping down from leadership posts, despite the rising prospect Republicans could put them back in the minority.
Pelosi did commit in 2018 to hold herself to just four more years of speaker in order to get a number of detractors on board.
She had previously served as House speaker from 2007 to 2011.
