Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., is the presumptive candidate for the Democrat nomination for the Senate in the state after New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy suspended her campaign over the weekend.

Politico reported that despite her connection to the state's current governor, Phil Murphy, Tammy Murphy was unable to match Kim's level of support in polls.

Kim threatened of a lawsuit over the state's use of a "county line" ballot listing process, which lists candidates who are endorsed by county parties in a single row while unendorsed candidates are placed near the bottom of the ballot. "It is clear to me that continuing in this race will involve waging a very divisive and negative campaign, which I am not willing to do," Murphy said in a video message. "With Donald Trump on the ballot and so much at stake for our nation, I will not in good conscience waste resources tearing down a fellow Democrat."
