Establishment Dems Rule New Jersey Again
In New Jersey, more left-wing Democrats resoundingly got defeated by “establishment” liberals. CNN reports, “In the 10th Congressional District, Rep. Donald Payne Jr. easily defeated lefty challenger Imani Oakley, a former New Jersey Working Families legislative director. Oakley had raised money at a better-than-expected clip, but Payne benefited from reinforcements from establishment allies – back-up that Oakley never received from progressives.”
“It was a similarly grim story for progressives in the nearby 8th Congressional District, where Robert Menendez Jr., son of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, crushed rivals David Ocampo Grajales and Ane Roseborough-Eberhard,” the report continued.
