It’s official! Democrat Andy Kim has turned New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District blue, unseating the architect of the Obamacare repeal, Tom MacArthur. Kim had declared victory last Wednesday, after thousands of mailed-in ballots swung the election pretty decidedly in his direction. For his part, MacArthur seemed to hope that some of that Republican after-the-fact voter suppression might help his chances. But nothing could save New Jersey’s Republicans as the blue wave has now given Dems an 11-1 delegation in the state.
Tom MacArthur is best remembered for coming up with the insane Republican Trumpcare plan, and then literally running away from reporters asking him about it.
