2020 presidential campaign

On April 22, 2019, Moulton launched his presidential campaign for the 2020 election. Moulton said that he would seek the Democratic nomination for president during an interview on Good Morning America, stating "I am here to tell you and to tell America that I am running for President of the United States." He suspended his campaign on August 23, 2019 due to low polling numbers and failed qualifications for the debates.

2026 U.S. Senate campaign

In October 2025, Moulton announced his candidacy for the United States Senate in 2026, running against incumbent senator Ed Markey in the Democratic primary. Moulton lost to Markey on in the primary on September 1, 2026 in a landslide.
