TRENTON, New Jersey – Tammy Murphy, wife of Governor Phil Murphy, announced her decision to withdraw from the race for Senator Bob Menendez’s seat. This move comes as a surprise to many, as Murphy was considered a potential contender in the upcoming election.
Murphy’s departure from the race has left many speculating about the reasons behind her decision. Some political analysts suggest that her decision may have been influenced by the recent developments in the Democratic primary race, where Senator Menendez faces an indictment.
With Murphy’s exit, the race for Menendez’s seat has taken an unexpected turn. Her decision not to run could potentially impact the dynamics of the Democratic primary and shape the outcome of the upcoming election.
