David Petraeus and John Allen in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

During the campaign, Kim attacked MacArthur\u2019s record on health care and taxes. MacArthur played a key role in the ObamaCare repeal bill House Republicans approved last year and was  the only New Jersey Republican to vote for President Trump\u2019s tax law, which raised concerns among many residents because it capped the state and local tax deduction at $10,000.<\/p>\n
