Summary

Congressman and Candidate for US Senate in Massachusetts Joe Kennedy III joins Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery." Kennedy discusses the tight race between himself and Senator Ed Markey. It's getting quite heated with attack ads from both camps, something rarely seen from two progressive Democrats. He also addresses their differences, the youth vote, his outspoken anti-vaxxer uncle, and his father's funding of a Super PAC.
