The GOP establishment in the 11th Congressional District of New Jersey is backing Tayfun Selen for Congress in this year’s midterm elections. Selen, a Turkish immigrant turned serial candidate, has previously bad-mouthed both President Trump and the American people to foreign media. Most recently, he won the Morris County GOP’s endorsement in a process marred by controversy and allegations of fraud.
America First conservatives have coalesced around outsider candidate and Iraq War veteran Toby Anderson, who they hope will win the nomination over Selen and, as they put it, stop the 11th District from sending another Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger to Washington. Whoever the GOP nominates will take on Democrat incumbent Mikie Sherrill this November. Sherrill first won election to Congress in 2018 as the 11th District was flipped from red to blue and has been a staunch supporter of the Pelosi legislative agenda ever since.
The 11th District race is predicted to be a toss-up this November. Like similar battleground districts, the GOP establishment hasn’t hesitated to publicly meddle in the nomination process, making clear that they support anti-Trump Republican Tayfun Selen.
