Will the attack on Paul Pelosi change the rhetoric in NJ's 7th District Kean-Malinowski race?

WNYC News | Nov 4, 2022
The congressional race in New Jersey's 7th District is neck and neck between Democratic incumbent Tom Malinowski and Republican Challenger Tom Kean Jr. One of Kean's central attacks against the incumbent, one that he keeps coming back to again and again, is that he's too close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
But in light of the recent attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, the Malinowski campaign is asking the Republican to back off of some of his rhetoric.
WNYC Weekend Edition host David Furst spoke with senior reporter Nancy Solomon recently to discuss whether the assault changes anything in the tone of the race.
