The New Jersey Senate president is in danger of losing to his republican challenger.

Sen. Steve Sweeney, a longtime Garden State democrat leader, is trailing behind his truck driver republican challenger Edward Durr by thousands of votes.

[As reported by](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-jersey-truck-driver-ed-durr-state-senate-president) *[Fox News](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-jersey-truck-driver-ed-durr-state-senate-president)**,* Durr only spent $153 on his general election campaign.

“I have lived here all my life. I have been a commercial truck driver for the last 25 years. I consider myself to be ‘blue collar’” Durr said on his campaign website.

Sweeney is the longest-serving legislative leader in New Jersey history, making this race all the more intense.
