Claimant: Seth Moulton (D)
Claim: When the Green New Deal “came up for a vote,” Ed Markey voted present.
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: Markey voted present on a 2019 Green New Deal resolution. However, Republican leaders forced the vote, and nearly all Senate Democrats also voted present because they viewed it as a political stunt rather than a substantive vote on the proposal.
