Senator Ed Markey, 80, won Massachusetts' Democratic primary, beating Rep. Seth Moulton. The win signals progressive strength despite age-focused challenges.
背景

Seth Moulton, who argued it was time for generational change. Markey's victory is seen as a win for the progressive wing, echoing his 2020 defeat of Joe Kennedy III.
