Moulton Launches Senate Bid Against Markey, Saying Democrats Need 'New Leaders'
U.S. Representative Seth Moulton has announced a primary challenge against Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey. Moulton, a fellow Democrat, is not running based on policy disagreements but rather on the notion that the party needs "new leaders." Moulton, 44, argues that Markey, 76, has been in Congress for too long and that the Democratic Party requires a younger generation of leadership to effectively address the country's challenges. Markey, who has served in Congress since 1976, has not indicated any plans to retire and remains popular among progressives for his work on climate change and other issues. Moulton's decision to run against a fellow Democrat has sparked a debate within the party about the role of experience and generational change in political leadership.
