Primaries are taking place in Massachusetts today. In the Senate, incumbent Ed Markey is hoping to stave off a challenge by Congressmember Joe Kennedy III. Markey enjoys the support of high-profile progressive Democrats, including Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with whom he introduced the Green New Deal resolution last year.

Meanwhile, insurgent progressive candidate Alex Morse is looking to pull off an upset against Richard Neal, 16-term incumbent and chair of the Ways and Means Committee. Morse, the openly gay mayor of Holyoke, supports Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.
