Moulton: “The world has changed, and Senator Markey is very much running the same campaign he did back in 2020”
SALEM, MA — Building on a powerful wave of momentum following a decisive debate performance and a landmark endorsement from The Boston Globe declaring that “the future must be now,” Representative Seth Moulton appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan this morning. With single-digit days remaining until the primary election, Moulton made the case for why Massachusetts urgently needs a new generation of progressive leadership to tackle tomorrow’s challenges, lower the cost of living, and hold Washington accountable.
During the nationally-televised live interview, Moulton highlighted the stark contrast between his forward-looking, positive vision and Senator Ed Markey’s 50-year Washington status quo. Moulton pointed to Markey’s recent debate admission that he cannot distinguish between basic smartphone apps and AI, while criticizing the 80-year-old incumbent’s decision to siphon $62,000 away from national battleground Senate races to bail out his own campaign in safe-blue Massachusetts.

KEY POINTS:
Seth Moulton on Tech Literacy & Generational Leadership: “As The Boston Globe said in endorsing me… the future is now. The world has changed and Senator Markey is very much running the same campaign he did back in 2020… In the last debate that we just had this week, [Senator Markey] 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… The world has just moved on. It’s not a personal thing with Ed Markey… It’s about whether one Senate seat should belong to one person while the world is moving on without him.”
Seth Moulton on Challenging Washington Leadership & Battleground Funds: “More than seven out of 10 Democrats in Massachusetts say they want new Democratic Party leadership… On day one of this campaign, I said I’m not going to vote for Senator Schumer for Senate Leader. Well, not only is Markey supporting Schumer, he just took $62,000 from Schumer’s fund to flip Senate seats—money that Democrats raised across the country to go to Maine, Ohio, and Alaska to flip seats from red to blue. He took that away from that victory fund to bail out his own campaign.”
Seth Moulton on Building Majorities: “I’m fighting to get majorities in the House and the Senate. While Senator Markey is taking money away from the Victory Fund, I’m raising millions of dollars through Serve America, as I have for years, to support Democrats who are going to flip seats across the country.”
