"Tammy Murphy Suspends New Jersey Senate Campaign"

Tammy Murphy, the wife of New Jersey governor Phil Murphy, has suspended her U.S. Senate campaign, citing the desire to avoid a divisive and negative campaign. Her decision comes after facing criticism for running a campaign that appeared nepotistic, given her husband's position. Murphy's main contender in the Democratic primary was Rep. Andy Kim, and her departure from the race follows Sen. Bob Menendez's indication that he would not run as a Democrat and might consider running as an independent.
