As he prepares for a daunting reelection fight in the sprawling New Jersey suburbs, Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski points to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and argues that Republican control of Congress could fuel further extremism in politics.
In Malinowski’s telling, state Sen. Tom Kean Jr., his GOP opponent, is a “coward” for declining to say publicly whether he agrees with the Republican National Committee’s description of the violence at the Capitol as “ legitimate political discourse.”
“That will certainly be a theme,” he said of the campaign.
