The incumbent's support of the Green New Deal beat the challenger's multi-generation legacy. : In one of the most-watched and latest Senate Democratic primaries of the cycle, 74-year-old Sen. Ed Markey, who has served in Congress since 1976, defeated 39-year-old Rep. Joe Kennedy III in Massachusetts. Markey was leading by about ten percentage points shortly after 10 p.m. when Kennedy called Markey to concede. The win—which, even though an incumbent defeated a challenger, you can call an upset—caps a successful late-race comeback from Markey, who pulled off one of the more surprisingly skilled political reinventions in recent memory.
