Dem Sen. Ed Markey Fires Back at Seth Moulton’s ‘Generational Change’ Comment: ‘It’s Very Clear I Am the Progressive Candidate’

‘If you pass the torch to Congressman Moulton, our state would get burned’

EXCERPT:

ALEXANDER: “But as it relates to generational change, if there was a candidate that you were more comfortable with who were younger, would you support passing the torch right now? Do you understand that criticism?”
MARKEY: “Well, that person is not Seth Moulton. I'm running against Seth Moulton, and Seth Moulton is on the ballot next week. And for every voter in Massachusetts, I think it's very clear I am the progressive candidate. That's why Bernie Sanders, that's why Elizabeth Warren, that's why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed me in this race. This is going to be my last term. And next time there'll be a wide open race. But even in that race, Seth Moulton will not be the person who should be the next senator from the state of Massachusetts.”
