Live: Massachusetts State Primary Election Results 2020
The Senate primary is one of the marquee matchups of the year, but there are also several significant House races.
U.S. Senate Democratic Primary
Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III, 39, is challenging Senator Edward J. Markey, 74, but has trailed in every poll. Mr. Markey has harnessed the energy of the progressive left, and Mr. Kennedy may become the first member of his storied family to lose a race in Massachusetts.
First Congressional District Democratic Primary
Representative Richard E. Neal, 71, is the most powerful Democrat whom progressives challenged this year. A win by Mayor Alex Morse of Holyoke would add to the strength of the party’s left wing. Mr. Morse, 31, faced dubious claims of sexual misconduct during the race.
Fourth Congressional District Democratic Primary
A crowded field is vying for the seat being vacated by Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III. Jesse Mermell and Ihssane Leckey have won key progressive endorsements. Alan Khazei and Jake Auchincloss — who has run toward the political center — have raised the most money.
Eighth Congressional District Democratic Primary
Robbie Goldstein, 36, an infectious disease specialist, has mounted a progressive challenge to the longtime incumbent Stephen Lynch, 65, in this district that includes part of Boston.

Over all, today’s election in Massachusetts went smoothly in contrast to those primaries we saw earlier in states such as Wisconsin and Georgia.
This could be one of those nights we go to bed without knowing the outcome of a race, and I’m talking about the seat that Joe Kennedy relinquished to run for Senate.
This 4th District race is super close between Jesse Mermell and Jake Auchincloss — too close to call, even though the vote tally appears complete in all but a few townships. Mass. 4th District results ›
Markey pivoted to his central issue, the Green New Deal. “We took unapologetically progressive stances on all of them,” he said. “We never blinked.”
