Democrats in a pivotal New Jersey battleground district are set to choose their U.S. House nominee on Tuesday, aiming to challenge Republican incumbent Tom Kean Jr. The race has gained significant attention due to Kean’s months-long absence from Congress, attributed to an unspecified medical issue.
New Jersey’s 7th District, encompassing suburban communities and agricultural land – and notably, one of the president’s golf clubs – is hosting the state’s most high-profile primary. Four Democrats are vying for the chance to unseat Kean, whose aides confirm he intends to seek a third term despite his prolonged absence.
