"Tammy Murphy Suspends Senate Campaign to Replace Indicted Sen. Menendez"
TL;DR
New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy has suspended her U.S. Senate campaign to replace Sen. Robert Menendez, who faces federal corruption charges, citing the potential for a divisive and negative campaign. Her decision likely paves the way for U.S. Rep. Andy Kim in the Democratic primary. Menendez has announced that he will not run in the primary but has not ruled out seeking reelection as an independent. The stakes are high as Democrats compete to maintain their narrow control of the Senate, while Republicans have their own primary unfolding.
