Justin Murphy Will Take On Cory Booker In NJ’s Senate Election

Self-employed attorney and Navy veteran Justin Murphy won the Republican Senate nomination Tuesday with 33 percent of the vote, setting up a fall matchup against incumbent Cory Booker. Murphy is a notable underdog: Republicans haven’t won a New Jersey Senate seat since 1972, and his campaign had negative $24 in the bank compared to Booker’s $3 million.
