ILIn the Democratic Senate primary in Massachusetts, incumbent Senator Ed Markey, an 80-year-old progressive known for his criticism of Israel, is projected to defeat his centrist challenger, Representative Seth Moulton, who is 47 years old. Recent polling indicates a significant shift in favor of Markey, with some surveys showing him leading by up to 30 percentage points. This contrasts with earlier polls where the race was much closer. Analysts suggest that Moulton struggled to differentiate himself beyond his age and lack of experience compared to Markey. Markey has spent decades in Congress, first in the House and later in the Senate, where he has consistently supported progressive policies and opposed military aid to Israel. Moulton, on the other hand, has positioned himself as a reformer advocating for 'new energy' and 'people over politics.'
