Massachusetts Democrats have solidified their dominance in state politics, with incumbent candidates winning key primaries and moderate Democrats falling to insurgents. The results were particularly striking in a generational showdown between 80-year-old Senator Ed Markey and a younger challenger, which saw the veteran lawmaker emerge victorious.
