Historic Election Defeat for Kennedy Family’s New Hopes – NRK Urix – Foreign News & Documentaries

Kennedy is sitting in the House of Representatives and is running for Senator Ed Markey (74).

Kennedy has been predicted for a brilliant political career for several years and was endorsed by powerful Democrat Nancy Pelosi before the nomination election.

It helped little. He lost to the most experienced senator. Markey received 55.6 percent of the vote, while Kennedy received only 44.4 percent.

-We may have lost tonight, but we have built a coalition that is the future of the Democratic Party, he commented.

Therefore, Joe Kennedy had to realize that he was the first member of the powerful Kennedy dynasty to lose the battle for a Senate seat in the state of Massachusetts.

Both John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Edward “Ted” Kennedy held a Senate seat in Massachusetts until the death of Edward Kennedy in 2009.

Joe Kennedy’s father, Joe Kennedy II, also held a Massachusetts seat in Congress from 1987 to 1999.

Tragedies have followed the family

60 years have passed since John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States. Since then, several Kennedys have tried to reach the White House.

Joseph Patrick Kennedy, who is his full and full name, is the grandson of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who, like his brother, President Kennedy, was assassinated in an assassination attempt.

He was assassinated in California in 1968 while campaigning to become the Democratic presidential candidate.

Edward “Ted” Kennedy also had presidential ambitions, but failed to be nominated in 1980.

This was partly due to an incident in 1969, when he ran off the road at the Dike Bridge on Chappaquiddick Island and his fellow traveler Mary Jo Kopechne drowned. Kennedy waited twelve hours to report the accident.

Since then, the powerful Kennedy family has been followed by a series of personal tragedies, most notably when JFK’s popular son, John Kennedy jr. he died in a tragic plane crash in 1999, at just 38 years old.

– The name gives hope

This has not stopped the Kennedy clan from continuing to seek political power.

– There has been a desire on the part of the family for a Kennedy to return to the White House.

Ole Moen has followed American and American politics for decades as a historian and professor at the University of Oslo. Moen believes that the Kennedy clan still has ambition to have a Kennedy as president of the United States.

– The name always gives hope, and it is possible that I will have another chance. JFK also had to fight an uphill battle to become a senator in his day, Moen notes.

– The Kennedy family is a dynasty, that is the myth of “Camelot”, he says.

The term comes from an interview with Jaqueline Kennedy, who said that the president’s favorite song on the Mikalten “Camelot” was a text in which the time of King Arthur was described as “a brief and glorious moment.”

– Not necessarily the end

Erin O’Brien, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, thinks Joe Kennedy will have more opportunities.

– Not necessarily the end of the Kennedy mystery, you think.

Still, he believes that much of the reason he lost was because people associated him with privilege or inherited wealth.

“There are two things that Democrats don’t look for among elected representatives,” he told the Associated Press.

– I don’t think the last word was said.

President Donald Trump also took the opportunity to comment on Kennedy’s defeat.

– When a Kennedy loses in Massachusetts, it just shows how far to the LEFT that game has gone, he writes on Twitter, among other things.
