| Description | Democratic lawmakers are expressing frustration over the decision from Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) to challenge Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) in a primary next year, setting up one of the most anticipated showdowns of the 2020 cycle.
The party’s lawmakers and strategists say they do not understand why the rising Democratic star sees the need to primary the longtime progressive, further exacerbating divisions at a time when fissures between establishment and progressive Democrats plague the party.
Kennedy, a four-term congressman, launched his primary challenge against Markey on Saturday, calling the race the fight of his generation. |
