Key Takeaways — Massachusetts

Harris won Massachusetts by +31.9 in 2024 (64.6% vs 32.7%) — Safe D and one of the most reliably Democratic states, with Harvard, MIT, and high college-education rates driving the lean
Ed Markey's Senate seat is up in 2026 — the 78-year-old senator survived a primary challenge from Joe Kennedy III in 2020; whether he runs again or retirement opens the seat is a major question

Massachusetts was the site of the first same-sex marriages in the US (2004) and Romneycare (2006) — both policies later influenced national politics (ACA and same-sex marriage legalization)
