Atlman’s progressive activism, sometimes directed at her own party, didn’t hurt her primary campaign. She quickly dispatched two other moderate Democratic candidates and is now the presumptive nominee. Kean was elected in 2022 when he defeated the incumbent Democrat Tom Malinowski, who had unseated a Republican in 2018 and just barely fended off an earlier challenge from Kean in 2020.
