WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters in New Jersey will choose candidates vying to replace Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, who has held the seat for more than 18 years. Menendez is currently on trial in federal court in New York on charges of corruption and has opted not to run in the state’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, but on Monday filed to run as an independent candidate in the general election. Congressman Andy Kim has a huge fundraising advantage in the Democratic primary. Four candidates are running for the Republican nomination.
