There's growing chatter in Massachusetts that the last member of the Kennedy political dynasty has an eye on Ed Markey's Senate seat in 2020
BOSTON — Standing before a group of donors at a Cape Cod fundraiser last weekend, Sen. Ed Markey joked about his current political predicament.
In less than a week, the Facebook group to draft Kennedy swelled to nearly 600 members. The petition has 160 signatures. Kennedy's campaign declined to comment when asked whether they conducted the July mystery poll, which pitched positive and negative campaign messaging for Kennedy and Markey, including on issues like marijuana, “Medicare for All” and the “Green New Deal.”
Markey himself is a cautionary tale about the perils of waiting around for a Senate seat to open. As an ambitious young congressman in 1984, he initially ran for the Senate seat left vacant by Paul Tsongas. He withdrew from that race, however, and had to wait nearly 30 years before it opened up again when John Kerry resigned to become secretary of State.
