Senator Ed Markey and Representative Seth Moulton are competing for the Democratic nomination in the Massachusetts Senate race. Their debate took place on July 8, 2026, in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
Rep. Seth Moulton has focused his campaign on generational change, proposing a shift to what he calls “a new generation of leadership.” He is challenging Sen. Ed Markey, who has been in Congress for five decades and has held the Senate seat since 2013.
Sen. Ed Markey is supported by prominent progressives, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Meanwhile, Rep. Seth Moulton has received backing from various figures, such as New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill.
The primary winner will face John Deaton, the 2024 Republican Senate nominee, in the upcoming election. However, the seat is expected to remain under Democratic control in November.
Polls for the election will close at 8 p.m. EDT. Stay updated with live results from Decision Desk HQ.
