1 / 4
US Senator Ed Markey, 80, has won the Democratic Senate primary in Massachusetts, defeating 47-year-old Representative Seth Moulton, who campaigned for generational change. Markey defended his record on climate policy, healthcare and energy costs, while portraying Moulton’s more moderate positions as out of step with Democratic voters in the state. Massachusetts is strongly Democratic, making the primary Markey’s biggest hurdle ahead of the November general election. Moulton conceded defeat and said he would support Markey’s reelection bid.
