Rep. Joe Kennedy III, the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, will formally announce a 2020 primary challenge to Sen. Ed Markey this weekend in Boston.
Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, will formally announce a 2020 primary challenge to Sen. Ed Markey on Saturday in Boston, according to a source familiar with his plans, before kicking off a statewide tour to promote his candidacy for the Democratic nomination.
Within a couple of hours, Markey's campaign insisted he is the"right choice" in a statement Wednesday. The highly anticipated primary will pit the young scion of the Massachusetts political dynasty against a veteran progressive who has spent 43 years in Congress -- and has no plans to give up the Senate seat he waited decades to fill.
