Curtis Bashaw Wins GOP Senate Nomination Over Trump-Backed Rival

Hotelier Curtis Bashaw has defeated Trump-endorsed Mendham Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in New Jersey. Bashaw will face Democrat Rep. Andy Kim in the general election, with incumbent Sen. Bob Menendez, currently on trial for federal bribery charges, planning to run as an independent if acquitted. Bashaw's victory marks a significant departure from Trump's influence in the state, where Republicans have not won a Senate race since 1972.
