Boston (US), Sep 2 (AP) U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III has conceded defeated to U.S. Sen. Edward Markey in Tuesday's Democratic Senate primary, setting the stage for another possible six-year term for Markey.

The win denies a Senate seat to a member of the younger generation of the storied political family.

During the campaign, the 74-year-old Markey had positioned himself as a member of the liberal wing of the Democratic party.

He teamed up with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Green New Deal, at one point labeling the 39-year-old Kennedy as “progressive in name only.”
