WASHINGTON - Former schoolteacher Amy Kennedy won a Democratic primary in New Jersey on Tuesday to become the standard-bearer to take on U.S. Representative Jeff Van Drew, who last year switched parties to become a Republican in the November election.
Van Drew, who outraged New Jersey Democrats and delighted President Donald Trump when he switched parties and pledged his backing to the Republican president, beat a challenger Tuesday in the Republican primary, the Associated Press said. The 67-year-old had won the district as a Democrat in 2018, but left the party a year later after voting against impeaching Trump in the House of Representatives.
The Democrats' congressional campaign arm weighed in with a poll asserting Van Drew is vulnerable. Results from the poll, conducted June 30 to July 3, put Van Drew at 47% and Kennedy at 44%, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said. Biden also won New Jersey, the AP said, scoring 87.3 percent of the vote in early returns; Trump was uncontested on the Republican side.Complete official results in the congressional primaries may not be known until later this month. As with other states that have encouraged voters to mail ballots instead of voting in person because of the pandemic, delays are likely while officials receive, open and tabulate the votes.
In its 7th Congressional District, Thomas Kean Jr., whose father was governor of the state, defeated other Republicans in a race to go up against freshman Democrat Tom Malinowski in the autumn, the AP said.
