Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) lost his seat to Democratic challenger Andy Kim on Wednesday, resulting in a near-wipeout for the GOP in the state, The Associated Press reported.
With MacArthur's loss, Democrats successfully flipped four Republican seats in New Jersey in the midterm elections this year, some of which had been held by the GOP for decades.
Come January, there will only be one Republican congressman from New Jersey — Rep. Chris Smith, who easily won reelection in a Republican-friendly district.
==============================================
I'm glad this turned out for Kim. I'm in the Phila area TV market which includes south NJ. The Repub attack ads against Kim were almost funny they were so frequent. They must have spent a fortune trying to save this seat.
Ouch.
Maybe the GOP shouldn't have aligned itself with that menace in the Oval Office and turned into the party of "Ooooh there's a big bad caravan of brown peoples on their way here to steal my job", and this wouldn't have happened.
This congressman was the guy responsible for getting the GOP’s repeal of Obamacare through the house.
New Jersey's pretty much a cesspool of Leftwing Corruption. hopefully Republican residents will move to states that are more hospitable to freedom
Yeah plenty of states where rightwing corruption is alive and well to set up residence...eace

Your thread says nothing but the outcome of one of of 535 House election outcomes - which we all already know how those turned out, ie another worthless new thread.
Why not start still another 354 new threads - one for each of the other members of the House of Representatives? You should be able to double your new thread starts from 1,000 to 2,000 within 2 months.
I had assumed that New Jersey was already hopelessly blue -- like my California.
Thanks for the news.
The GOP should disband in N.J. and California.
Let the people of those two states learn the hard way to be careful what they wish for.
Ouch.

I wonder how many states have had a similar number of politicians sent to federal prison. Look up Herb Stern and read about him.
You really don't wonder as many states have dirty political histories... now as far as corruption goes my state does it 'legal' style- giving massive benefits to the wealthy, cutting the energy tax on oil (the claim is the companies will pull out and drill elsewhere- like oil is under every square foot of the Republic- :doh )
Looks like older states have long lists of political convicts, my state (part of Trump's beloved fly over states) has it's fair share of thieves pervs and ner-do wells and we only have a century of statehood...
But vague paintbrush statements are your stock and trade....eace
few states have had more convictions of politicians in the last 40 years or so
I can't see the words New Jersey without thinking of the opening credits for The Sopranos.
MacArthur is lucky he just walked away instead of being disposed of in the Meadowlands.
