5 days agoSenator Calls to Abolish ICE, Says Voting to Fund DHS Supports "Murder"
Sen. Ed Markey urges Democrats to defund and abolish ICE and block DHS funding, saying such funding supports the murder of Americans.
Pressley has not officially entered the race or clearly indicated that she intends to do so. But she is reportedly considering a run and quietly speaking to allies about the possibility. Pressley, 51, could make a similar age-related argument as Moulton. She is also one of the most notable progressives in the House of Representatives, and could eat away at Markey's more left-leaning base of support. The poll results released this week could further embolden her.
