JUST IN: Republican state Sen. Ed Durr, who swept to victory in 2021, defeating the powerful Democratic Senate president, defeated his former running mate incumbent Assembly member Beth Sawyer in Tuesday's primary.
In New Jersey, candidates from the same party typically run as part of a joint ticket in their district, even if they're seeking different seats. As a team they swept the Democrats who held the Senate seat and two Assembly seats, helping the GOP net seven seats.
Tuesday was Primary Day, but it's not the only day ballots will be cast. In-person voting was held over the weekend and mail-in ballots have available to voters who prefer them for weeks. New Jersey has no statewide races on the ballot this year, though both chambers of the Democrat-led Legislature are up for grabs in the November election.
Democrats have a 46-34 advantage in the Assembly and a 25-15 margin in the Senate, but control won't be decided until November.Copyright © 2023 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
