Capuano concedes to Democratic challenger Pressley in Mass. primary

Capuano concedes to Democratic challenger Pressley in Mass. primary
Rep. Michael Capuano has conceded to his Democratic challenger Ayanna Pressley in the Massachusetts primary, becoming the latest veteran lawmaker to go down against a progressive candidate in a stunning political upset.

Capuano, a 20-year veteran in Congress, made the concession around 9:20 p.m., according to multiple reports. His opponent, 44-year-old Pressley, was the first woman of color ever elected to the Boston City Council. It was Capuano’s first primary challenge during his nearly two decades in office.

Pressley seized on the progressive winds energizing the Democratic Party after 28-year-old and self-described democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat veteran Rep. Joe Crowley (N.Y.) in a Democratic primary earlier this summer.

Longtime incumbent Democratic Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA) lost his primary on Tuesday to anti-establishment insurgent Ayanna Pressley in the latest of a series of powerful incumbents to lose to grassroots-fueled outsiders.

Capuano conceded the election early after returns started flowing in, a sign of how badly Pressley defeated him.
