House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal has won his Democratic primary in Massachusetts, defeating his liberal primary challenger, Alex Morse politi.co/2EEEkrO Image
Richard Neal, the House’s top tax-writer, came under fire from progressives, who saw him as too close to industry and slow to pursue Trump’s tax returns.

Morse, the 31yo mayor of Holyoke, Mass., was endorsed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & other big names. politi.co/2EEEkrO Image
Here's where the #MA01 primary race between Richard Neal and Alex Morse stands at 53% reporting. Neal has been declared the winner.

16th term #MA01 Rep. Richard Neal wins his Democratic primary per AP over challenger Holyoke mayor Alex Morse, who was endorsed by NY Rep Ocasio-Cortez and progressive Justice Democrats group that helped 3 Democratic primary opponents defeat Reps Clay, Engel & Lipinski this year.

First town counted in #MA01, Windsor, suggets higher turnout than 2018, including some new Neal votes.

2018
Neal: 100
Amatul-Wadud: 55

2020
Neal: 128
Morse: 94
First flip is Worthington, though everything is good *enough* for Neal to keep him ahead overall. (The first Holyoke precinct was great for Neal.)

2018
Neal: 214
Amatul-Wadud: 200

2020
Morse: 261
Neal: 177
We're expecting at least 1.1 million Dem primary votes statewide, and more than 100k in #MA01, so I'm not over-analyzing based on the precincts in, just looking at towns that are finished.

Polls are closing in 30 minutes in Massachusetts!

Besides #MASen & #MA01, some Gov. Baker allies face important challenges. This is the moment to familiarize yourself with the night's agenda, as two dozen races feature interesting ideological stakes.

My plan for the night!

1. I'll update on the latest as information comes in (so follow me if you want updates!).
2. Results on whatsontheballot.com as they are called.
3. Likely end the night with a recap on my weekly live video stream.
And I'll add: I just moved out of Massachusetts just two days ago after living there for 2 years, so having this night follow so quickly feels bittersweet.

🗳🇺🇸1. ¡Hoy hay primarias en Massachusetts! Estaré siguiendo los resultados en este hilo de Twitter y a partir de las 7:30pm EST en twitch.tv/nanisimo, por si queréis ir cogiendo sitio.

Puede ser una GRAN noche para la izquierda en Nueva Inglaterra. Vamos a ver por qué. 👇🏼
🗳🇺🇸2. Lo más importante del día son las primarias senatoriales (#MASen). El progresista Ed Markey, en el Senado desde 2013, defiende escaño con la ayuda de su compañera Elizabeth Warren y de Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, con quien lanzó el #GreenNewDeal.
🗳🇺🇸3. Su rival es Joe Kennedy III, nieto de Bobby Kennedy, que quería aprovechar un año de elecciones tonto para arrebatarle el puesto a Markey sin ninguna razón demasiado específica.

Es más establishment que Markey en un estado cada vez más progresista.

I’m going to count down the six most important elections — or “election questions” — in Massachusetts today, in some rough order that combines substantive stakes & suspense, because why not.
6. The state’s most conservative congressmember, Lynch, faces a progressive challenger. This has not drawn enough attn for an upset to be likely, but keep an eye on #MA08 still—esp. for future cycles. (I previewed via voting rights: theappeal.org/politicalrepor…)
5. #MA04: open seat could go to a progressive — but also veer right if most conservative benefits from a 7-way race to snatch primary.

4. We increasingly see talk of sheriffs matter a ton. Well, here’s a sheriff’s race that takes those powers seriously. theappeal.org/politicalrepor…

It's open #MA04 House race today with Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy III running for US Senate instead of a 5th House term.

Drove through downtown Lee, MA today, in the heart of rural Berkshire County in #MA01.

Saw 8 yard signs for @NealForCongress and 1 for @joekennedy.
Found about a half-dozen @AlexBMorse yard signs while driving around Berkshire County yesterday. Also one or two adverts for @NealForCongress, @EdMarkey, and @joekennedy.
Driving in and around Pittsfield, MA today, lots more interest in #MA01 than #MAsen ahead of Tuesday primaries.

@NealForCongress & @AlexBMorse signs galore in roughly equal numbers, with a smattering of @EdMarkey and @joekennedy signage.
