The “issue” with that is that, typically, most elected officials work their way up the ladder. Generally speaking, first, they’re mayor of a city, then governor, then they typically run for a federal office, be it president or congressman/ congresswoman. If they run for Congress, there’s a chance they may run for president later down the line.
There are other options to pick from in a climb to the top, so this is just a general idea. Basically, they have to make a name for themselves on the national political stage before they have a chance at winning the presidency. So that’s what they try to do when working their way up the ladder.
Funny, it didnt stop Bill Clinton, or Obama, or Kennedy, from achieving office while being within roughly 10 years of the median age of the country, or having names for themselves.
