x/ed-markey
— 3d
Democrats are deprioritizing climate change in campaigns as researchers describe a trend called climate hushing, with voters focusing on affordability, Israel policy, and how to confront Trump; the Massachusetts Senate race exemplifies this shift, as Ed Markey receivers less emphasis on the Green New Deal while facing a challenge from Seth Moulton. Advocates like the Sunrise Movement have broadened their mission, and analysts warn the climate issue no longer dominates the political conversation despite persistent environmental concerns.

Health
— 5d
