Reports: Rep. Joe Kennedy Set To Announce Senate Run

Joseph Kennedy III is preparing to challenge Senator Edward Markey in the 2020 Massachusetts primary. Kennedy has filed preliminary paperwork and conducted polls to gauge his favorability against Markey. In a Facebook post, Kennedy expressed his belief that the current political system needs change and that waiting is not an option. Markey, a seasoned politician with 37 years in the House and a Senate seat since 2013, is expected to be a formidable opponent. He has already received an endorsement from fellow Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Kennedy is set to make his formal announcement soon.
