"Democratic Senate Race: Kim Gains Momentum, Revolt Against Party Leaders"

New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy faces resistance from the Democratic party rank and file in her Senate campaign, as anti-establishment sentiment becomes a dominating theme in the primary contest against her opponent, Rep. Andy Kim. The race reflects a broader frustration with the state's unique ballot design system and could potentially lead to a major change in the way New Jersey primaries have been run for decades. Despite out-raising Kim in fundraising, Murphy is encountering an enthusiasm gap and facing obstacles in her bid to replace Sen. Bob Menendez.
