New Jersey Democrats Sound the Alarms

November 3, 2018 at 9:37 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“New Jersey Democrats are growing increasingly worried that Sen. Bob Menendez could lose his seat next week in an outcome that would undercut the party’s effort to take back the Senate,” Politico reports.

“Democratic strategists working on races across the state said in interviews that they have seen a remarkable decline in support for Menendez as his Republican opponent — former pharmaceutical executive Bob Hugin — poured $36 million of his own wealth into his campaign.”
