On Chat Box this week, David Cruz talks with New Jersey Democratic State Committee Chair LeRoy Jones Jr. and Republican strategist Chris Russell about the results of Tuesday’s primary election and the impact of the loss of the “party line” from Democratic ballots.

Russell and Jones discuss potential policy and strategy plans heading into November’s general election and what effect Sen. Bob Menendez’s (D-NJ) independent candidacy could have on the U.S. Senate race.

Later, transportation reporters Colleen Wilson of NorthJersey.com and Larry Higgs of NJ.com discuss New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s decision to “indefinitely” pause the controversial congestion pricing plan for New York City. Political pressure or economic concerns? What was behind the indefinite postponement?
