18-year-old Saira Blair, a Republican from West Virginia, just became the youngest elected lawmaker in the country after trouncing her 44-year-old Democratic opponent 63 percent to 30 percent to earn a seat in West Virginia’s House of Delegates.Blair – who beat a two-term incumbent in the primary when she was just 17, too young to even vote for herself – said in an interview on “Fox and Friends” in May that she wants to borrow ideas from Texas to bring more jobs to West Virginia.
On “Outnumbered” today, Kennedy said Blair’s accomplishment is fantastic, and although she doesn’t wish Blair a life in the frustrating, irrational business of politics, the teenager certainly has gotten an interesting start to her adulthood and looks poised for big things.

Tucker Carlson, on the other hand, felt sympathy for Blair’s opponent.
“Can you imagine the midlife crisis that would ensue if you were beaten by a college student?” Carlson joked. “It’s hard enough being 44.”
