2014 US Senate Race

Four New Jersey Democrats are seeking their party's nomination to run for the U.S Senate seat that's up for grabs after the passing of longtime Senator Frank Lautenberg.

On the same day Frank Lautenberg's life was celebrated at his funeral in New York, Republican Steve Lonegan has announced he will run in a special election for Lautenberg's U.S. Senate seat.

Less than 24 hours after Gov. Chris Christie announced a special election will be held to permanently fill the seat left vacant by the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg at least four people are considering running in the election.

Governor Chris Christie holds a press conference at the Statehouse  regarding a timeline of naming a successor to the late Senator Frank Lautenberg. Watch the press conference live beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Cory Booker has become the latest hot politician in Hollywood with many of the industry's biggest names scheduledd to attend a  fundraiser for his Senate campaign in April.

U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg is not running for re-election next year and, right now, Newark Mayor Cory Booker looks a lot like the guy New Jersey voters want to succeed him.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker says he won't make an official announcement about the U.S. Senate race until after the gubernatorial election in November.

TV and radio host Geraldo Rivera tweeted like a candidate over the weekend taking political shots at possible U.S. Senate rival Cory Booker on Twitter.

There are allegations that U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez may have used his political power and influence in exchange for free private jet flights from a campaign donor. The controversy is taking its toll as a new poll out today shows the Senator's approval ratings in a virtual free-fall.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker says he is "clearly interested" in running for U.S. Senate but will focus on the state's gubernatorial race at the moment.
