Only Rep. Joe Kennedy III knows where his long term ambitions lie following his defeat to Sen. Ed Markey in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for Markey’s Senate seat — making him the first Kennedy ever to lose an election in the Bay State, breaking a 26-0 streak going back to 1946. However, there are some limitations in the short term. Barring some sort of extreme circumstance, Kennedy will not return to Congress anytime soon after January 2021.

Should former Vice President Joe Biden prevail over President Donald Trump in the election, Kennedy could nab a spot in the new administration.
