Sherrill wins race for governor in New Jersey
Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill was elected New Jersey governor on Tuesday over Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
Sherrill will succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, marking the first time since 1961 that one party has won three consecutive terms in the New Jersey governor’s mansion.
The race was closely watched as a potential bellwether for the 2026 midterms.
