| Description | The looming primary fight for Loretta Weinberg’s State Senate seat in Bergen County won’t affect whether Democrats win the general election – Joe Biden carried the district by 36 points – but the upcoming brawl between two Assembly incumbents puts a multitude of Democrats, including Gov. Phil Murphy, in a tough position.
Valerie Vainieri Huttle, 64, opted for a venue change this week, eschewing a contest with 71-year-old Gordon Johnson at the March 15 Democratic convention and replacing it with an off the line June 8 Democratic primary. Johnson had secured enough votes to block any path for Vainieri Huttle to win the organization line. Instead, she walked away from a safe Assembly seat to take a shot at the Senate. |
