New Jersey First Lady Tammy Murphy Suspends Run for U.S. Senate

Introduction:

(CBS) New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy on Sunday suspended her run for U.S. Senate, days after embattled Sen. Bob Menendez announced he would not be running as a Democrat.

Murphy made the announcement on X.

"I have been genuine and factual throughout, but it is clear to me that continuing in this race will involve waging a very divisive and negative campaign, which I am not willing to do," Murphy said.

Murphy threw her hat into the ring in November to replace embattled Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, who announced Thursday that he would not be seeking the nomination as a Democrat while he battles federal corruption charges. But he left the door open to running as an independent, saying "hopeful that my exoneration will take place this summer and allow me to pursue my candidacy."

Murphy dropping out of the race clears the path for Rep. Andy Kim to win the Democratic nomination during New Jersey's June 4 Democratic primary. Kim was first elected to the House in 2018.

Introduction:

(Axios) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that he is tapping attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate for his independent presidential bid.

Why it matters: His vice presidential selection allows him to ramp up signature collection in nearly two dozen states, as he presses on with his bid to qualify for the ballot in all 50 states.

• Kennedy has only officially qualified for the ballot in Utah, but 23 states allow him to begin collecting signatures for the ballot now that he has named his running mate, CNN reports.

Driving the news: "I'm grateful that Nicole has ... made the momentous and very, very difficult decision to embark with me on this extraordinary crusade to win back our country," Kennedy said at a campaign event on Tuesday in Shanahan's hometown of Oakland.

Zoom in: Shanahan, 38, is the founder and president of Bia-Echo Foundation and the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
