S6 Ep56: Why Ed Markey May Survive a Revolt Against Old Candidates (with Adam Reilly)
About this episode
The episode discusses why Ed Markey is surviving a revolt against aging politicians and explores voter sentiments in Massachusetts.
Why is 80-year-old Ed Markey surviving a Democratic revolt against aging politicians? Sarah Longwell and GBH’s Adam Reilly listen to Massachusetts voters explain why Rep. Seth Moulton’s 'new generation' argument isn’t landing—and what the race reveals about what Democratic voters really want. Plus, they discuss Moulton’s attacks on Markey, his damaging comments about trans athletes, and a brutal debate exchange over AI. Nobody else in political media does quite what we do with these focus groups: talking to voters week after week and letting you hear for yourself what’s actually driving their decisions.
