New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell Dies at 87, Democrats Face Tight Deadline for Replacement

Pascrell, a longtime critic of Trump and advocate for New Jersey, leaves a significant political gap as Democrats rush to name a new candidate.

Bill Pascrell served 14 terms in Congress, known for his strong opposition to Trump.
Pascrell's death follows the recent passing of fellow New Jersey Democrat Donald Payne Jr.
State Democrats must select Pascrell's replacement by August 29 to meet election deadlines.
Pascrell was a beloved figure in Paterson, where he served as mayor before Congress.
His passing marks the end of a nearly four-decade-long political career.
