A Republican candidate for New Jersey s governor says he refuses to go to a virtual election debate because it violates his medical freedom.
But the host says the reason for the remote event is largely due to studio renovations making the space unavailable not necessarily because of COVID-19.
Atlantic City native Hirsh Singh said on social media that his GOP opponent and NJ PBS which is hosting the virtual debate are trying to violate his medical freedom by holding next week s deabte online.
An NJ PBS spokeswoman said one of the main reasons it was being held virtually, however, was because the studio is under renovation.

How much less of his own money Gov. Murphy has spent on current primary election campaign than on his 2017 run
The power of incumbency is well-acknowledged: It confers the bully pulpit, name recognition and better access to fundraising. It also can save candidates a boatload in personal moolah. Exhibit One in that regard is our own Gov. Phil Murphy. When the former Goldman Sachs executive first ran for governor in 2017, he lashed out $16.3 million of his personal wealth on that year’s primary election. Now running for reelection, his reduced outlay of personal funds this time around would put a smile on the face of any financial adviser: The governor and four family members so far have contributed a total of $24,500 toward his primary campaign fund, meaning a comparative savings of $16,275,000.
