Rob Menendez (D-NJ) on Tuesday staved off a tough Democratic primary challenge from Ravi Bhalla, the mayor of Hoboken, the New York Times reports. “The race in House District 8, which includes parts of Newark and Jersey City, was more competitive than expected because of the legal troubles facing Mr. Menendez’s father, the state’s senior U.S. senator, who is on trial in Manhattan on federal bribery, corruption and obstruction charges.”
