Rep. Seth Moulton to Challenge Sen. Ed Markey in Dem Primary

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) has announced his plan to challenge Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) in the upcoming Democratic primary.

Moulton's foreign policy outlook is more moderate than Markey's, who is one of Israel's leading Senate critics. Moulton has a mixed record on Israel votes.

Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old... 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.

Moulton's campaign is focused on generational change, arguing that it's time for a new generation of leadership.

Author's summary: Moulton challenges Markey in Dem primary.
