Senator Ed Markey, 80, has once again edged out Representative Seth Moulton, 47, in a closely watched race that highlighted the clash between experience and change. Moulton, who has long positioned himself as a progressive challenger, urged voters to break from the “status quo,” but Markey’s record of bipartisan collaboration and seniority proved decisive. The contest underscored a broader debate in Washington about whether seasoned incumbents should be replaced by younger, more radical voices, and it will shape the balance of power in the Senate moving forward.
Sen. Ed Markey, 80, defeated Rep. Seth Moulton, 47, who had attempted to argue that it was time to do away with the "status quo" in his pursuit to oust the octogenarian.
