Is the timing right, in 2020, for Rep. Joe Kennedy III to take on a sitting Democratic senator in Massachusetts? Perhaps. But maybe the primary challenge suggests a new kind of Kennedy necessity: the fear of missing out in a year when Democrats seek a new identity -- and new leadership.
, then-Rep. John F. Kennedy ran for the Senate against the incumbent Republican Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. It was a roll of the dice: JFK was just 35 years old, with relatively little to show for three terms in the House, taking on in a presidential year that would see Dwight Eisenhower capture 54% of the vote in Massachusetts .
In 2020, Joseph Kennedy will turn 40, with four House terms under his belt. And while the surname Markey is not to be confused with that of a legendary political clan, the incumbent does have some friends in high places – for example, JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg , who’s praised Markey and the namesake of the family patriarch and an eldest son who lost his life in World War II, thus making JFK the family’s political heir apparent).
That’s a lot of tradition at young Joe Kennedy’s disposal. And it raises this question: how much wattage does Kennedy star power still carry in 2020?th
