The first being, New Jersey has voted Democratic since 1972 and won by double digits since 2006. Not to mention, Kim currently has an 18-point lead. Therefore, you can conclude there is a larger percentage of Democratic voters. This indication allows us to understand that citizens favor Kim more than Bashaw.

Compared to Kim, he lacks connections and resources to market his campaign to a larger number of voters. Also, in the state of New Jersey, the demographic makeup is very democratic with the overall percentage being 25.3% Democratic and 19.5% Republican. This makes it harder for Bashaw to appeal to the citizens in New Jersey.
