New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D), the new chair of the Democratic Governors Association, told Politico that he wouldn’t rule out meddling in GOP primaries to try to get less electable Republicans nominated.
Said Murphy: “I say this literally, you should assume that if something is legal and ethical, nothing’s off the table.”
Murphy said his first priority is getting another term for Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D), who is up for reelection in 2023.
