"In a video announcing his campaign, Moulton criticized his colleagues in the Democratic Party for failing to stop Donald Trump's harmful, racist agenda. Our party has clung to the status quo, Moulton continued, insisted on using the same old playbook, and isn't fighting hard enough. The next generation will keep paying the cost if we don't change course. This isn't a fight we can put off for another six years. The future we all believe in is on the line."
"We're in a crisis, and with everything we learned last election, I just don't believe Senator Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old, Moulton said. Even more, I don't think someone who's been in Congress for half a century is the right person to meet this moment and win the future. Senator Markey is a good man, but it's time for a new generation of leadership; and that's why I'm running for US Senate."
Rep. Seth Moulton announced a Democratic primary challenge to Senator Ed Markey. Moulton is 46 and won his House seat in 2015 by defeating nine-term incumbent John Tierney. Moulton criticized Democratic leaders for clinging to the status quo, failing to stop Donald Trump's agenda, and using the same playbook rather than fighting hard to win. Moulton argued that Senator Markey, who will be 80 before the 2026 election, has been in Congress for nearly half a century and is not the right person to meet the current moment. Moulton called for a new generation of leadership and change.
