@whatshappeninginnjfinds: New Jersey election results are in, and the map changed overnight. Here is your New Jersey election recap for November 4, 2026. Democrat Cory Booker won re-election to the United States Senate, beating Republican Justin Murphy by about 27 points, with about 62 percent of the vote counted so far. In New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, Democrat Rebecca Bennett defeated Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr. 57 percent to 41 percent, turning one of the most watched races in America into a 16 point rout. In New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District in South Jersey, Republican Jeff Van Drew has conceded to Democrat Zack Mullock, who leads 51 percent to 48 percent, although the Associated Press had not formally called that race as of this morning. If that lead holds, Democrats will hold 11 of New Jersey's 12 House seats, with Republican Chris Smith, who won his 24th term in District 4, as the only Republican left in the delegation. Democrat Adam Hamawy also won the open District 12 seat. Turnout so far is over 2.8 million New Jersey voters, with more than 1.2 million voting early in person or by mail before Election Day. Results are still unofficial, and mail ballots postmarked by 8 p.m. on Election Day can still arrive and be counted, so check back for updates.

Everybody in New Jersey now that the Democrats even got more victories. I suggest everybody said their PS ENG or utility bills to Corey Booker‘s office and let him pay for our high electric bills since our great governor hasn’t done the thing about it.

All corruption. Get educated people. Look back. Whitman ,Christie, McGreevy, Corzine, Murphy. All corrupt and got rich off of New Jerseyans. If you don’t read watch American Hustle. My grandfather was at those parties where celebrations took place for the known corruption of the state. And then the casinos. We are a RICH fuckibg state and have been since 1981!!!! The fact that almost EVERY major city in nj is poor and falling down like a war zone is a CRIME in of itself!!!! Please get educated people. This CAN change! You can ignore the truth forever once you see it.
