Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) is reportedly set to announce a Senate bid to challenge Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA).
The Boston Globe reported on Wednesday that Kennedy will announce his campaign on Saturday. He’ll then kick off a tour of Massachussetts to lay out his policy proposals.
An unnamed source told the Globe that Kennedy told Markey about his plans on Wednesday.
I’m sorry to see this. Markey’s a good senator.
I knew John Kennedy, sir.
And you’re no Joe Kennedy…
Why?
I don’t know how I feel about this. I like Joe Kennedy but, I don’t know that this is a good move
Why not? Unless Warren wanders off to be president or VP next year, there’s not likely to be a free seat for another six years.
Nothing says you have to wait your turn, Markey’s 73, why can’t he go enjoy a nice retirement?
