He was old, had been in the house for a long time, and his district was trending Dem. Phil Murphy narrowly won it last year. Makes sense if you think about it.

If Democrats are going to flip the House this year, then this is definitely a must-win district for them. The fact that Frekinghuysen is retiring, definitely makes this a much easier pickup for Democrats. However, the one big problem Democrats may face in some of these wealthy, White, Suburban, districts, is that with the big Tax cuts and the booming stock market, it’s going to be difficult to get these rich, bigoted, White people to vote for Democrats who will raise their taxes and give their money to the “others” (ie. Black people).
1) This is a SALT state, so the tax cut might've actually hurt them
2) What makes you think the residents of the district are mostly "bigoted"? That's the inverse of urbanites calling rural dwellers bigoted
3) Nice concern trolling post
