Ed Markey wins Massachusetts Senate Democratic primary

U.S. Sen. Ed Markey secured the Democratic nomination in Massachusetts' Senate primary Tuesday, fending off a challenge from Rep. Seth Moulton as he seeks a third term, according to reports. Markey, 80, defeated the 47-year-old Moulton, who had campaigned on generational change and argued it was time to move past the incumbent's long tenure in Washington. The result underscores the Democratic establishment's continued reliance on longtime incumbents despite recurring calls within the party for fresh leadership. Markey will now proceed to the general election as he seeks to extend his decades-long career in the Senate.
