Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez’s Re-Election Bid in Big Trouble

Breitbart: Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) skated on public corruption charges this year, but the verdict New Jersey voters render in November may have a different outcome.

Menendez “is forcing his party to spend big on him as he struggles to fend off a Republican challenger,” Fox News reported on Thursday:

Bob Hugin, a former U.S. Marine and pharmaceutical executive, has cut Menendez’s lead to a mere 6 points, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released last week. Back in March, when the race began, Hugin trailed by 17 points and it appeared as if Menendez was on his way to an easy victory.

Hugin attacked Menendez over the weekend, saying that if he hadn’t decided to run, Menendez would likely have been re-elected without facing any real opposition.

“My wife and I were just offended that Bob Menendez was going to be reelected without any real opposition. He’s had 35 years of being involved in corruption,” Hugin said during an interview with New York’s WNYM-AM radio, according to the Hill.

Hugin is putting his money where his mouth is, and that has Menendez scrambling.

The retired pharmaceutical executive has already loaned his campaign $15 million. As a result, he has a significant cash-on-hand advantage over Menendez.

According to the most recent Federal Election Commission reports, the Hugin campaign had more than $8 million cash-on-hand as of June 30, $2 million more than the $6 million cash-on-hand the Menendez campaign had on the same date.

Menendez has been plummeting in the polls.

  1. Alas, the Trenton to Newark corridor that cuts the state in half will decide the election like it always does and unfortunately, that’s where all the urban liberals and minorities live who always vote D. Throw in the Atlantic City vote and its Menendez by 4-5 points. I’d like to be proven wrong though.

    The town I live in (along that corridor) votes D all the time for Mayor, Freeholder, etc etc. Even though everybody in town knows how corrupt the local pols are and they would sooner spit on you than to give you as much as a dollar to help out, the locals still vote them in because Republicans are mean. Well as per the propaganda the Ds put out come November

  3. It’s New Jersey! Menendez could participate in orgies with teenage girls and still be re-elected. Wait, he did do that and he’ll still be re-elected.
