It’s not an improbable thing that Gottheimer will stick around if he loses the gubernatorial primary. He represents a waspy, extremely wealthy part of NJ and he’ll still want to be relevant in a district which he’s had no problem holding and winning re-election in.

I’m still amazed that Gottheimer pulled off one of the few upset House wins in 2016 by unseating Scott Garrett, who was always notoriously difficult for Democrats to beat in previous elections.
