Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., is facing a challenger who is making age a central issue of his bid to unseat the longtime lawmaker.

On Wednesday, Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., launched his U.S. Senate campaign with a video called “Lesson,” referencing what his party learned during the last election cycle with then-President Joe Biden.

“We’re in a crisis, and with everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Senator Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old. Even more, I don’t think someone who’s been in Congress for half a century is the right person to meet this moment and win the future,” Moulton said in his campaign launch video.

Markey is 79 years old and will turn 80 before the 2026 election.
