Huge news. Torricelli may withdraw from his Senate race: Sources Say Torricelli Pressured To Quit Race Will Embattled Senator Drop Out? POSTED: 11:37 a.m. EDT September 30, 2002 UPDATED: 11:50 a.m. EDT September 30, 2002 wnbc.com TRENTON, N.J. -- State and national Democratic leaders were negotiating with U.S. Sen. Robert Torricelli to end his re-election campaign after months of news about illegal campaign donations and unethical behavior, sources said Monday. Torricelli is considering pulling out of the race, sources told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Torricelli's public-approval ratings have taken a beating all year, and recent polls have showed him trailing Republican challenger Douglas Forrester, a startling predicament for any congressional incumbent. A Star-Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers poll released this weekend showed Forrester leading by 13 percentage points. In June, the same poll had Torricelli leading by 14 points. The Senate ethics committee "severely admonished" Torricelli in July after finding he accepted and failed to disclose gifts from David Chang, a businessman who is serving an 18-month prison sentence for making illegal campaign donations.
