Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) compared President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement to the Confederacy during remarks made on Monday at Roxbury Community College in Boston. Pressley was campaigning for Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) in his primary race against Representative Seth Moulton (D-MA). Pressley stated, "It is bigger than Trump. Because whenever we do the work of ousting the occupant of the Oval Office, the Confederacy is still alive and well. That’s all MAGA is." She further commented, "White supremacy is still alive and well. Anti-blackness will still be alive and well." Markey is seeking another term in the Senate and is facing a primary challenge from Moulton. Pressley endorsed Markey in March after considering a Senate campaign of her own, highlighting their collaboration on immigration, criminal justice, and other progressive priorities. Pressley expressed her support for Markey, stating, "I am proud to endorse his re-election so we can continue advancing the justice-driven solutions our communities need to not only survive, but thrive."
