DCCC appears to be bailing on Rep. Tom Malinowski

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has mostly pulled out of New Jersey’s 7th district, leaving two-term Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-Ringoes) to largely fend for himself in his re-election campaign against Republican Thomas Kean, Jr., the New Jersey Globe has confirmed…

Malinowski’s last two polls have shown the race to be tied, first at 48%-48% against Kean, and last week at 47%-47%. It’s never good news when an incumbent is under 50%, especially two weeks out.

As national Democrats claw for every House seat, the move by the DCCC signals that their own polling does not show the race as close as Malinowski says it is.
