Rebecca Bennett won the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, according to AP, while live coverage continues to track the U.S. Senate race and other House contests as results roll in.
New Jersey voters cast ballots on Tuesday, June 2, in a primary election that is still producing results in several key races, including the U.S. Senate contest and multiple House primaries.
The Associated Press called the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District for Rebecca Bennett, making her the party’s nominee in one of the state’s most closely watched contests. AP described the 7th District as the state’s highest-profile primary.
The 7th District race has drawn unusual attention because it is one of the battleground House seats in New Jersey. Bennett will now move on to the general election against Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr.
What remains to watch
Live coverage continues to track the Senate race and other House contests, including the special primary in New Jersey’s 11th District, as county election offices continue to post results.
Polls opened at 6 a.m. and closed at 8 p.m. local time, and the pace of reporting from local election officials will determine how quickly the remaining races are settled.
