There has been growing chatter about a potential Kennedy Senate bid for weeks, and supporters have launched efforts to draft him into the race
There has been growing chatter about a potential Kennedy Senate bid for weeks, and supporters haveto draft him into the race. Monday's Facebook post was the first time Kennedy has addressed the potential campaign himself.
"I hear the folks who say I should wait my turn, but with due respect — I'm not sure this is a moment for waiting," Kennedy said. "Our system has been letting down a lot of people for a long time, and we can't fix it if we don't challenge it. I've got some ideas on how to do that." Markey has already been running prepared for a competitive primary that already includes several challengers, but a campaign announcement from Kennedy would raise the pressure on the incumbent significantly. Markey and Kennedy both had slightly more than $4 million cash on hand after the most recent campaign finance reporting deadline in July.
"I don’t think our democratic process promises anyone a turn," Kennedy said. "What it does promise is the chance for anyone to earn it — if we think we have something to offer and are willing to put ourselves and our ideas out there."
