When Republican Rep. Tom MacArthur took on the responsibility of creating the amendment that allowed Trumpcare to push through, he thought that pretending he was a bipartisan type of guy would immunize him from his own betrayed constituents. He was wrong. Rep. MacArthur has literally tried to run away from questions surrounding his part in the ACA repeal attempts. Veteran and Rhodes scholar Andy Kim stepped up to run against MacArthur. CBS 3 in Philadelphia has more.
Democrat Andy Kim has claimed victory after a very tight race in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District, but Republican incumbent Tom MacArthur is not ready to concede.
This comes after “thousands of mail ballots were tallied by Burlington County election officials late Wednesday afternoon.” Kim and the Democratic Party feel very confident in the outcome. The fact of the matter, regardless of where in the country you are, is that extra votes are being discovered and counted. Votes delayed by dubious issues, purposeful negligence, and outright trickery, time and time again, seem to almost always favor the Democratic candidate.
If this victory holds it would be a tremendous win for the country, and there may still be more to come in the days and weeks ahead.
