Seth Moulton, Democrat of Massachusetts and Senate primary candidate, that aired on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Aug. 23, 2026. MARGARET BRENNAN: We're going to turn now to another congressman, and that is Seth Moulton, who joins us from Salem, Massachusetts. And Congressman Moulton wants to be Senator Moulton.
He's launched a primary challenge to Ed Markey. Good to have you on the program, Congressman. The last-- REPRESENTATIVE SETH MOULTON: Good to see you, Margaret.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Last time we saw a young challenger go after Senator Markey's seat, Markey won. How do you get the partisan enthusiast to show up for you when he's got Senator Bernie Sanders and AOC behind him? MOULTON: Well, as the Boston Globe said in endorsing me, which was a switch for them, by the way, because they endorsed Senator Markey six years ago.
The world has changed, and Senator Markey is very much running the same campaign he did back in '20 when all those same people endorsed him. But in the last debate that we just had this week, he explained to Massachusetts voters that he can't understand the different apps on his phone. He doesn't know which ones use AI, and then he tried to clean it up by explaining that AI is like an automobile, and we need to regulate it the way we regulate seatbelts.
So, the point is, the world has just moved on. It's not a personal thing with Ed Markey. In fact, he and I agree on most policies.
It's about whether one Senate seat should-- REP. MOULTON: --belong to one person while the world is moving on without him. He's been there for- he's been in Washington for 50 years, Margaret.
