I was curious about people's thoughts about the New Jersey Senate race. You have the Democrat Bob Menendez and the Republican Bob Hugin running against each other in the General Election.
"In one poll previewing the November race, Menendez led Hugin 28 percent to 24 percent, with 46 percent undecided, in a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll of 856 registered voters taken May 16-21."
As the poll shows, there are many Americans who are undecided.
Bob Menendez has been in the Senate since 2006, and he is running for this third term in the Senate. The big issue at hand is the fact that Bob Menendez was involved in corruption in which he accepted bribes from a friend, and then pushed for laws that would help his friend. While the charges were later dropped, it still hasn't damped people's uneasiness with the whole affair.
On the other hand, you have the Republican Bob Hugin who is a businessman. Unlike other Republicans, he has many left-leaning views. For example, he is pro-choice, supports equal pay laws, supports same-sex marriage, and he is against separating children at the border. However, the big issue with him is what his company did.
"Drug prices: Menendez blasts Hugin's record at Celgene Corp., especially the company's increases in the price of cancer drugs, its efforts to thwart the production of cheaper generics, and a $280 million settlement of a whistleblower lawsuit alleging the firm improperly marketed some drugs."

If Bob Hugin's company was not involved in those shady deals, I'm pretty sure he would beat Bob Menendez in the General Election.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
