AOC Backs Ed Markey Amid Massachusetts Senate Primary Battle

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed Sen. Ed Markey in his bid for re-election against Rep. Seth Moulton in the Massachusetts Democratic U.S. Senate primary. As an incumbent senator, Markey faces a challenge from fellow Democrat Moulton, who is seeking to capitalize on growing dissatisfaction among Massachusetts Democrats with Markey's leadership style. Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement suggests she believes Markey has the best chance of winning the general election. The outcome of the primary will shape Markey's path forward towards re-election in November.
