Not long ago, it appeared that young Joe Kennedy III would be the future of Massachusetts, and perhaps American politics. Where is he now?

Former Boston City Council President and candidate for Attorney General Andrea Campbell secured the endorsement of former Congressman Joe Kennedy III today in Fall River.

Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III was planning on being the third Senator Kennedy elected by Massachusetts and the fourth of his family elected to that chamber.

Democrats Jake Auchincloss and Bill Keating will represent the South Coast area in Congress.

Sen. Ed Markey made history when he defeated Congressman Joe Kennedy in the Democratic primary last month. Now he has to face off against Kevin O'Connor.

The AP called it for Auchincloss around 1:30 a.m. Friday after a lengthy vote-counting process.

The two leaders in a 7-way race for Joe Kennedy's seat in Congress landed in a virtual tie on election day.

Markey, 74, has spent more than 40 years in Congress and successfully defined himself as a progressive champion.

Supporters yelled "Let's Go Joe" as the congressman and candidate for U.S. Senate waved to traffic and worked the neighborhood crowd.

The most important primary election in the country will take place today. But Kennedy vs. Markey for the Senate isn't alone in importance.
