Live blog: Massachusetts Democratic convention

The Massachusetts Democratic convention is Saturday, June 2. More than three thousand delegates will endorse candidates for the September primary.

At convention, Elizabeth Warren aims to allay doubt, revive fervor

The convention will test whether Elizabeth Warren can marshal a super-majority that would clear the Democratic primary field of her only opponent, a little-known North Shore immigration lawyer, Marisa DeFranco. (Frank Philips / Globe staff)
