## Key points

- Dan Koh wins crowded Massachusetts Democratic primary for Moulton's House seat
- Backed by Biden and Harris; district considered safely Democratic
- Faces Republican Micah Jones in November's general election

## Summary

Dan Koh, a former Biden administration aide backed by both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, has won a crowded six-candidate Democratic primary in Massachusetts to succeed Rep. Seth Moulton in the state's 6th Congressional District. The seat is rated safely Democratic, giving Koh a clear path to Congress in November and marking a comeback after he narrowly lost a separate 2018 primary bid for a neighbouring district. The result highlights the establishment wing of the Democratic Party reasserting itself, in contrast with the progressive "Squad" faction.

Koh, who served as chief of staff to former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and later as a deputy assistant to the president, is campaigning on abolishing ICE and universal healthcare, and comes from a family with a history of federal service. He now advances to face Republican military veteran Micah Jones, who is unopposed in his own primary. The primary took place the same night Moulton lost his Senate bid to incumbent Sen. Ed Markey, whose campaign drew support from progressive figures including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
