how can he still be in office. My people, please vote for someone else in a primary.

Maybe you are starting to see the problem with a two-party "democratic" system where parties control ballot access. That is you have no choice about who you want to run.

He runs unopposed in NJ because positions in the Senate are based on seniority. It rarely makes sense to replace a senator with experience.
