Well, now you have a really big, really angry Democratic Party.
voice-verified
You got Obama-era Democrats, Democratic socialists.
voice-verified
You got Democrats in big cities who see fighting Donald Trump as a major part of the mandate.
voice-verified
You got moderate Dems who want nothing more than to stick to local politics.
voice-verified
Some of this is geographical, but some is also generational.
voice-verified
And this week, all that seemed to come together in a Massachusetts primary featuring 80-year-old Senator Ed Markey.
voice-verified
And in the wake of that race, perhaps, there were more questions than answers.

ABC's political
voice-verified
director Avery Harper is here to break it all down.
voice-verified
Avery, I was told if you want to succeed as a Democrat this race, you want to be young, you want to be super progressive, like like democratic socialists are getting more looks than ever.
voice-verified
And yet the 80-year-old one here, what happened in this race?
voice-verified
I was gonna say, is the idea that it always seems like we're perpetually in a change election.
voice-verified
Like every election now is a change election.
voice-verified
Is that not necessarily always the case for some of these districts?
voice-verified
Well, this is the thing, because I often feel like Democratic leadership seems like it's often more worried about those progressive candidates perhaps leaning too far left, right?
voice-verified
Like the leadership is probably thinking, you know, what flies in a primary might not fly in a general election.
voice-verified
They want to keep everyone like together and on the same page.
voice-verified
But this week it sounded like it was moderates, a couple of moderate Democrats who surprised, who blindsided House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the heir to Nancy Polaris.
voice-verified
Well, this is what I'm trying to figure out is Republicans always used to say, like, hey, we don't agree with Nancy Pelosi, but man, does she control her caucus, right?
voice-verified
Like people do not step out a line or she will have their heads.
