Party-switching Congressman who pledged loyalty to Trump sparks heated N.J. primary
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressman Jeff Van Drew outraged New Jersey Democrats and delighted Donald Trump last year when he switched parties and pledged his "undying support" to the Republican president.
He will face challenges from all sides on Tuesday, as Democrats pick a candidate to challenge him in the Nov. 3 election and Republicans choose whether to let Van Drew seek a second term or give the chance to a rival Republican.
That is just one of the choices facing voters in the New Jersey primary. They and voters in Delaware will also cast ballots in presidential primaries, although the outcome is not in doubt. Former Vice President Joe Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee, and Trump has no significant national Republican opposition.
Both primaries were postponed because of the coronavirus.
