U.S. Sen. Ed Markey secured the Democratic nomination in Massachusetts’ Senate primary Tuesday, once again fending off a push for generational change as he seeks a third term.
Markey, 80, defeated U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, 47, who had attempted to argue that it was time to do away with the “status quo” in his pursuit to oust the octogenarian.
Yet Markey successfully pointed to Moulton’s more moderate positions to argue that it was Moulton — not the older incumbent — who was out of touch with the state’s voters. Perhaps no other issue defined the race more than transgender rights, and Markey repeatedly hit Moulton for previously saying he would not want his daughters to play against transgender athletes.
The AP has never been a good source. Not outside of a few core areas. They were and presumably still are ironclad on US Election Results. So that is something.
The question wasn’t whether or not they were accurate, but whether or not they were unbiased and objective in reporting it.
I wouldn’t call them spotless. They were the first ones to call Gore for Florida in 2000.
