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.
