In NJ race to replace Sen. Menendez, MAGA and moderate Republicans seek the GOP nod
The Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat held by Bob Menendez features a familiar political divide.
“Christine Serrano Glasser is unapologetically MAGA, unapologetically Trump – she and her husband have been ardent supporters of his for a long time,” said Micah Rasmussen, director of Rider University's Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics. Serrano Glassner has criticized Bashaw as pretending to be for Trump, because he supported former Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2024, and was not a Trump supporter until recently. He has now endorsed the former president, but is walking a line between the Trump and moderate wings of the party by not describing himself as a “Trump Republican.”
Bashaw said his politics are in line with New Jersey conservatives who think the Democratic Party has moved too far to the left. He opposes criticism of policing and the state’s bail reform laws, which allow anyone charged with a nonviolent crime to avoid jail unless and until they are convicted. He also calls for a more secure border.
