As he begins a campaign for a different office, Massachusetts Congressman Joe Kennedy's first opponent is incumbent Sen. Ed Markey.

But he's focusing on President Trump.

Kennedy says the president has forced a reckoning in this country — but to defeat Trump is not enough.

He joined WBUR's Morning Editon host Bob Oakes to talk about the president and his candidacy.

This segment aired on September 26, 2019.
