Senator Ed Markey and Representatives Neal and Lynch won their respective Democratic primaries in Massachusetts, fending off challengers in all three races. Markey’s victory demonstrates that age is not necessarily a barrier for liberal candidates, according to the Washington Times. NBC News’ Steve Kornacki detailed the numbers in the races for U.S. Senate and House Districts 8 and 1, but did not offer analysis of the implications of the results. Left-leaning outlets and the Washington Times both reported the outcomes, with the latter framing the results as a rejection of a push for generational change within the Democratic party. The results suggest established incumbents continue to hold sway in Massachusetts Democratic primaries, despite calls for new leadership. No center-leaning outlet reported on this story.
