SHOCK: NJ’s US Senate candidates focus on economy
New Jersey’s two major-party candidates for U.S. Senate highlighted their differing approaches to jumpstarting the nation’s economy during their second debate, while trying to blame each other for the economy’s lackluster state and the struggles of the middle-class.
With just under a month to go in their campaign for U.S. Senate, New Jersey’s two major-party candidates spent much of their second debate Wednesday trying to blame each other for the lackluster economy and struggles of the middle class.
Sen.
