Senator Nia Gill has always been willing to stick her neck out a bit in order to move the ball down the field; Murphy and Weinberg not so much. Gill’s endorsement today of Vainieri Huttle is a perfect example. Murphy and Weinberg stick with the machine candidate when they have nothing (Weinberg) or little (Murphy who likely is on his way to an easy re-election victory — the first for a Dem Guv since 1977) to lose. Murphy showed promise as a fighter against machine politics early in his first term. However, that was obviously a calculated effort to establish his bona fides with the progressives. Once Murphy did that he shoved his head back into the backsides of the party bosses, including Norcross. Maybe even ex-Senator Lesniak — who still narcissistically still refers to himself as Senator (and prehumously runs the institute named after him at Kean University)– can pull strings with the guv. Worse, Weinberg has pretty much never strayed from the machine bosses. If you want proof just look at her statement from back in 2019 when the Senate held the hearing in which Norcross testified (link below).
