Long knives out in backstabbing Massachusetts congressional delegation

[sheshe2]

The long political knives are out in Massachusetts’ all-Democratic congressional delegation, where rumors are swirling around the Senate seat firmly occupied by 79-year-old Ed Markey.

Much of the speculation is centered on U.S. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, the Newton Democrat who won’t close the door on a future run for the U.S. Senate even if Markey decides to follow through with his 2026 re-election bid.

Throw a few other ambitious Democrats like Attorney General Andrea Campbell, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Seth Moulton into the mix and you’ve got quite a political pot ready to boil over.

All are motivated by self-interest and jockeying for position in the wake of the Trump presidency, looking to see who can be most effective at blocking the Republican president.

If Markey doesn't run, I am not sure who I would get behind here. I voted for Campbell and Auchincloss in the last election.
