"Could Massachusetts get another Ted Kennedy in the Senate?
Ted Kennedy Jr., son of the late Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy and brother of former Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy, would instantly be the leading Democratic candidate in the special election to replace Sen. John Kerry, assuming he’s nominated as secretary of state.
Massachusetts insiders say Kennedy would be well-positioned to clear the field in a Democratic primary if he were to enter a special election to replace Kerry. But whether the investment banker chooses to run is still an open question.
“It’s no secret that Ted is interested in entering politics after a long and successful career as a disability rights advocate and businessman,” a Ted Kennedy friend and adviser told POLITICO’s Playbook on Wednesday. “Numerous people in Massachusetts have reached out to him to ask him to consider running for office there, and if Sen. Kerry is nominated to a Cabinet post, it’s fair to say that he will be giving this very serious consideration.”
