In a notable political shift, Jersey City Mayor and 2025 gubernatorial candidate Steven Fulop rescinded his endorsement of Tammy Murphy for the U.S. Senate, now backing Congressman Andy Kim in the Democratic primary. Fulop's decision reflects the broader sentiment among Democratic activists and party volunteers, acknowledging a mistake in his initial endorsement and citing Kim as the superior candidate for New Jersey. This development coincides with reports of Tammy Murphy's financial dealings, revealing she made up to $675K from put contracts betting against the market, amidst her campaign for the seat held by Senator Bob Menendez, who faces corruption charges.
