Secretary of State Nomination Could Bring Another Senate Race for Massachusetts

The Takeaway

With Senator John Kerry on his way to head up the State Department following a nomination by President Obama, the race is on in Massachusetts to fill the senate seat that he may leave open. The likely front runner: Senator Scott  Brown, who just lost his seat to Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren, in the country’s most expensive Senate race. Who will take Brown on this time? And will this race be as expensive as the last one?
