re: #306 aatharuv

Running as in Independent, in a three way race between Andy Kim (D-NJ somewhere in southern New Jersey), Bob Menendez, and an unknown Republican (I don’t know New Jersey politics that well), wouldn’t Andy Kim lose?

Kim has gotten a lot of support from the base and is doing well in polling here. Menendez loses. Kim first has to win the primary in June against Menendez and Murphy’s wife. Party leaders had wanted Murphy’s wife, but the base and some leaders wanted Kim, who announced first that he was running for Menendez’s seat.

I don’t think Tammy Murphy has anything to offer the state, and name recognition isn’t enough. Kim would be a good Junior Senator from NJ behind Cory Booker *Booker*
