This is a BLUE state that Biden won in 2020, Clinton won in 2016 and Harris won in 2024. The Senate seat is sure to remain in the hands of Democrats, but House districts vary. Most are solidly Democratic, apart from NJ-2 and NJ-4, which are solidly Republican. NJ-7 is one of the tight races that Democrats must win to regain control of the House in 2026. However, to play it safe and ensure Democratic wins in other NJ seats, NJ-3, NJ-5, NJ-6, and NJ-9 are also categorized as PURPLE in this election.
Senate Race
This is a Blue US Senate race. No matter how you vote, the Democrat Cory Booker is going to win this Senate seat. A Democratic vote here is a wasted vote. But you can help encourage someone in a swing PURPLE state to vote Democrat where it really matters – by swapping your vote. And you are safe voting for a third-party candidate here without risking the outcome of this election.
VOTE for Joanne Kuniansky, Socialist Workers Party OR Veronica Fernandez, End the Corruption Party, for US Senate!
You don’t have to agree with everything they stand for. Neither of these candidates are going to win, either. But if it helps elect a Democrat in another state where it really matters, the whole country will thank you for it! And we also have to break the stranglehold of the two-party system and start electing third parties to Congress sooner or later…
