Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., is seen walking inside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 22, 2018. In one of the most-watched and latest Senate Democratic primaries of the cycle, 74-year-old Sen. Ed Markey…

The result was the first loss by a Kennedy in a Massachusetts election and demonstrated the progressive energy that is reshaping the Democratic Party.Senator Edward J. Markey turned back a primary challenge Tuesday from Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III, handing the Kennedy family its first-ever electoral loss in Massachusetts and demonstrating the growing strength of the progressive left.Forging a coalition of younger and more liberal Democrats, the sort of voters who once formed the core of the Kennedy base, Mr. Markey was By winning renomination in a generational clash — and the marquee Democratic Senate primary of the year — Mr. Markey, 74, proved that the ascendant left is not eager to simply throw out long-serving incumbents in favor of younger rivals, such as the 39-year-old Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy, however, had built his own coalition of support, winning endorsements from a number of voters of color and working-class people across racial lines.“They’re not on Twitter,” he said in an interview Saturday, acknowledging that the “question is do they vote.”While some younger and more liberal Massachusetts voters were not enthused about perpetuating the state’s most famous political dynasty, the Kennedy name still carries significant punch among older and many Black Democrats.“The Kennedy family is loved around here, they’re champions for labor,” said Robert Sheehan, the president of a politically powerful chapter of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Boston, which endorsed the congressman.For much of the race, Mr. Kennedy shied away from running on his family name.

Markey, who was first elected to Congress in 1976, was able to outflank Mr. Kennedy with progressives, leaving the heir of Massachusetts’s most storied political dynasty little opening. Facing a challenge from a young Kennedy, the long-serving senator from Massachusetts turned his biggest vulnerability into an opportunity. Kennedy’s more fundamental problem, however, may have been that he simply never gave voters a coherent reason for why he should replace Mr. Markey, who was generally well-liked and underestimated by many Massachusetts Democrats.Satisfied with the incumbent, happy to see him embrace a progressive agenda and wary of Mr. Kennedy’s ambitions, the state’s many liberal voters made the difference.

But in the Massachusetts Senate race, they were forced to defend their own, and they won: Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) Tuesday, he won a primary contest from Rep. Joe Kennedy III. But even as his grandson highlighted his family name in a final mail and TV blitz, today’s liberals were scarcely moved.Addressing supporters in Watertown, Mass., Mr. Kennedy said he “would do this again with all of you in a heartbeat.”He called Mr. Markey “a good man,” but hinted at some of the bitterness that overtook the last stages of the race, when the senator invoked Mr. Kennedy’s forebears.
