AP Election Update: Kamala Harris victorious in New Jersey

0

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris secured all 14 electoral votes from New Jersey. This success adds to the ongoing trend of Democratic candidates winning in the state, as it has consistently sided with Democratic presidential candidates in every election since 1988.

The Democratic Party in New Jersey holds a significant advantage, boasting approximately one million more registered voters compared to their Republican counterparts. Although Republican candidate Donald Trump has connections to New Jersey through his golf clubs and previously owned casinos in Atlantic City, which ultimately faced bankruptcy, his footing in the state could not outweigh the strong Democratic support.

The announcement of Harris’s victory was made at 8:30 p.m. EST, further solidifying the Democratic hold in a state where they have maintained a substantial electoral presence for decades.
