AP News in Brief at 12:04 a.m. EDT
Sen. Ed Markey won the Massachusetts Democratic primary with ease, defeating U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton in a race that focused heavily on generational differences and transgender rights issues. Markey, 80, argued that Moulton, 47, was out of touch with voters due to Moulton's moderate positions, while highlighting Moulton's past stance on transgender athletes.
The primary is a crucial step towards the November general election, where Markey is expected to win against Republican John Deaton. Meanwhile, the murder trial of Tyler Robinson, accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah last year, is set to proceed, with the defendant facing potential capital punishment.
