Summary
In their second debate, U.S. Senate candidates Ed Markey and Joe Moulton exchanged sharp criticisms over personal finances, age, and past votes on military action. Markey, the incumbent, sought to highlight his progressive record, while Moulton, a congressman, attacked Markey's positions and age.
According to reports, the debate was heated, with both candidates trading barbs. Markey emphasized his progressive mantle, which he adopted during his successful 2020 primary, to appeal to voters. Moulton, meanwhile, questioned Markey's financial decisions and his votes on war, suggesting they were out of step with the district.
The two candidates are competing in the Democratic primary, with Markey hoping to leverage his progressive support to secure another term.
