Mass Senate Race Turns Heated | Boston News

The Massachusetts Senate race is boiling over ahead of the September 1 primary, with a fiery debate exposing personal attacks, past voting missteps, and fierce claims to the progressive mantle. Moulton and Markey traded barbs over Iraq-era votes, defense spending, and each other’s finances—with Markey calling Moulton’s defense ties “ill-gotten gains” and Moulton accusing Markey of hiding family income and even labeling critiques as sexist. The Epstein files were dragged into the mix, and both candidates dodged accusations of corporate PAC donations while admitting to taking funds—Markey even acknowledging a mistake and working to return some. Policy-wise, they’re surprisingly aligned on healthcare and education, but neither wants to be seen as second-best in the progressive race.
