Primary Rival Rik Mehta Visits Trump’s Club as Kean Hides
Over the weekend, NJ Advance Media reported a NJ-07 GOP candidate was one of five 2022 congressional candidates from the Garden State to trek to Trump’s Bedminster golf club seeking his favor.
But that candidate wasn’t Tom Kean Jr. — it was Rik Mehta.
It’s deja vu for Kean, who stumbled while walking a fine line on Trump last year as he endorsed Trump, attended a Trump rally, and even held an event at Trump’s Bedminster club — but wanted to pretend he wasn’t a Trumper himself.
He’s accepted nominations from Trump sycophants and enablers like Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, and Elise Stefanik — but wants to pretend he’s not in the pocket of Trump himself.
As the Star-Ledger wrote last year, “No matter what Trump does, Kean has his back.”
It’s still true today.
