U.S. Rep. Andy Kim has defeated Lawrence Hamm, the chairman of the People’s Organization for Progress, and Patricia Campos-Medina, a labor organizer and immigration rights representative, in New Jersey’s Democratic race for U.S. Senate.
Current U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who is on trial for alleged bribery and corruption, may also be in the race.
Menendez, who did not seek the Democratic nomination to pursue a fourth term, filed paperwork with the state late Monday to run on the ballot in the fall as an independent.
Menendez previously said he expects to be cleared of all federal charges against him, and if that happens he could run for reelection as an independent candidate.
Kim, the most well-known candidate in the Democratic primary, focused his campaign on fighting for working families.
