Rep. Joseph Kennedy III is poised to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Ed Markey for his seat.
The original Kennedy family patriarch, Joseph Kennedy Sr., was fond of saying that “if there’s a piece of cake on the table, you eat it.”
Markey is trying to head off the challenge at the pass. His best shot might be to keep Kennedy from running by stressing the damage it would do to the national Democratic Party in 2020, a year when the party’s main focus will be defeating President Trump.

“I’d be looking at Columbus Day,” she said. “The longer this goes on and the more he’s out campaigning, the more he’s going to realize how hard this is going to be.” Some Democrats in the state are hedging their bets — another sign that Markey’s standing is not as solid as he’d like it to be.
