American deputy Seth Moulton, a slight Democrat Massachusetts, said on Wednesday that he would challenge US senator Edward Edward Mange for a democratic nomination for the Senate of the Senate next year, claiming that the party to accept the new generation of leadership.
This announcement makes the race one of the most anticipated primary competitions in the country and will oppose two of the most important politicians of the democratic state. Maraty, who in 2020 reflected the challenge of Joe Kennedy III in the Primary Senate, would be 80 before his third six -year period began.
In a video accompanying his announcement Moulton (46) said that the Democratic Party was stuck in “Status quo” and “not afraid of hard”.
Without naming former President Joe Biden, Moulton referred to the presidential elections of 2024 when he feared Biden’s age and the abilities to leave the Moon before the election day. This step – and the subsequent victory of the Republican Donald Trump – ruled the concerns that the party leaders were too old and were no longer the best to win.
“We are in crisis and with everything we have learned in the last election, simply do not believe that Senator MARKY should run for another six -year period at the age of 80,” Moulton said in the video. “I don’t even think that someone who has been in the congress for half a century is the right person who will meet this moment and win the future.”
Moulton, who enrolled in Marines after the September 11 attacks and served four tours in Iraq, was first elected to the US House of Representatives in 2014. Last year he ran unlikely. In his announcement, Moulton said he would concentrate his campaign on questions, including availability, health care, banning offensive weapons and protection of democracy.
“The next generation will pay costs unless we change the course,” he said. “This is not a fight that we can postpone for another six years. The future we all believe in is on the line.”
After the Democrats lost the White House last year and both congress houses, Moulton caught a flake from some members of his party because he said they did not want his daughters to play in sports against the Girls Transgender. Critics said Moulton repeated Trump’s speaking against the permission of Transgender’s athletes in girls’ and female sports.
“I think the Republicans have a hateful position in trans -otas,” Moulton said last year to the Associated Press agency, but insisted that the Democrats would still lose voters because of the “attitude” of the party.
Markey, on his role, was here before. In 2020, he faced a hard -fought challenge Kennedy. He turned to his progressive ally to overcome the challenge of a younger opponent from the most famous political family of America.
During this race, MARKY referred to voters in a deeply democratic state by standing as in accordance with the liberal wing of the party. He joined with the leading progressive New York representative Alexandria tail-Cortez, on the initiative of Green New Deal Climate Change Initiative-A at one point Kennedy “only progressive name”.
Maraty, who was first elected to Congress in 1976, said last year in an interview with the WCVB-TV, that he was “most tension” he had ever been and said he would run again. He claimed it wasn’t his age, but his thoughts age and added that “I was always the youngest person in the room.”
