Senator Ed Markey, a vocal critic of Israeli policy in Gaza, defeated challenger Seth Moulton in the Massachusetts Democratic Senate primary. The 80-year-old progressive campaigned on opposition to the Trump administration and framed the race around broader Democratic Party direction. The result is being read partly as a signal of intra-party debate over Israel policy, with Markey's win seen as a boost for the party's more critical wing ahead of the general election.
