Jeff Van Drew, the incumbent Republican who represents New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District, would seem to be the clear favorite in this November’s midterm election.

After all, he won reelection to a second term in 2020 by a respectable 21,677 votes or a 51.9% to 46.2% margin over Democratic opponent Amy Kennedy. And no matter who wins the Democratic primary on June 7 – Tim Alexander or Carolyn Rush – his opponent will not have the benefit of Kennedy’s name recognition and bankroll.
