"Kim Triumphs Over Murphy in NJ Senate Primary Upset"

Rep. Andy Kim wins the Hunterdon County Democratic convention, defeating First Lady Tammy Murphy in the battle for Senator Bob Menendez’s seat. A last-minute attempt to implement a shared organizational line was defeated, with Kim criticizing party leaders for trying to unfairly assist Murphy. Kim's substantial convention win comes after overwhelming victories in Burlington and Monmouth counties, while Murphy has guaranteed support in many of the state’s largest counties. The Democratic primary, critical for any candidate's path to victory, is scheduled for June.
