"Tammy Murphy Withdraws from New Jersey Senate Race"
TL;DR
Tammy Murphy, the wife of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, has withdrawn from the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, leaving Rep. Andy Kim as the frontrunner. Her departure comes after a discussion with her family and advisers and amid controversy over the state's "line" ballot system. Murphy, a former financier, cited her unwillingness to engage in a divisive campaign and the importance of Democratic unity in her decision. This move reshapes the race for the seat of Sen. Bob Menendez, who has also opted out of the race as a Democrat.
