“If you’re in the trans community or you’re a trans kid feeling the weight of the President Donald Trump administration and the Supreme Court, you matter,” Seth Moulton said during an August debate. Seth Moulton, 47, has repeatedly argued that the Democratic Party is stuck in the “status quo” and questioned Ed Markey’s accomplishments during his lengthy time in office.

Antoine Hilaire, a 76-year-old Democrat who voted for Ed Markey in Brockton on Tuesday, said being older can be a positive because it offers people experience and wisdom. Critics said he was echoing President Donald Trump’s talking points against allowing transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports.

He launched a 2020 presidential campaign but dropped it after a few months. “If the older one is doing the better job, I don’t know,” he said.

“He has a backwards-looking political agenda,” Ed Markey said.
