Senator Ed Markey and Representative Seth Moulton are competing for the Democratic nomination in the Massachusetts Senate race. Their debate was held at WWLP-22News on July 8, 2026, in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
Moulton emphasizes the need for a “new generation of leadership,” challenging Markey’s long tenure in office. Markey has been a member of Congress since 2013 and holds support from prominent progressive figures such as Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
On the other hand, Moulton has garnered backing from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and others. Tuesday’s primary winner will face John Deaton, the 2024 Senate Republican nominee.
The Democratic Party is expected to retain control of the seat in the upcoming November elections. Polls will end at 8 p.m. EDT. Stay updated with live results from Decision Desk HQ.
